It took leaders’ race to question GTH

The Global Transportation Hub (GTH) land scandal stands to be one of the biggest controversies in our province’s history, and amazingly it will only get the treatment taxpayers deserve thanks to a popularity contest.

The Saskatchewan Party’s leadership race is showing the true colours of MLAs, some of whom vehemently denied that there was any wrongdoing. The most noteworthy would be the former attorney general, Gord Wyant, who is now committing to a public inquiry into the GTH land scandal if he is elected leader.

Yet, as attorney general, didn’t he have the power to call for a full inquiry into the situation? At the very least, he could have made a motion in the legislature during any of the past sittings.

While I’m glad to see some calls for accountability by Sask. Party leadership hopefuls, I have to wonder why it took this leadership race to get that accountability promise. Taxpayers deserve better from their elected officials, let alone the potential next premier.

The advantage here, though, is that maybe we can get them to come forward with even stronger commitments if elected leader. Like the highly questionable land deals on the east side of Regina, along Tower Road and at White City.

We at whytowerroad.net have been investigating this for a long, long time. If you want answers to the many questions that have been left from the land transactions, demand them from your next potential premier. I know I will be. Donald Neuls, Coppersands
