Saskatchewan premier says MLA terrorist remark wrong and ‘very, very inappropriate’
REGINA — Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says one of his legislature members made inaccurate and “very, very inappropriate comments” by calling federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh a terrorist.
But Moe says Humboldt-Watrous MLA Racquel Hilbert has publicly apologized and retracted the remark.
He says the programs and policies of his Saskatchewan Party government show it’s committed to building on and embracing the diversity of the province’s people.
Moe made the statement in the house a day after Hilbert apologized for her terrorist comment, delivered two weeks earlier during budget debate.
