Statement by the Speaker

Ruling on a Question of Privilege

(Committee Matters)

Earlier today, I received a letter from the Opposition Whip (Aleana Young) in which she raised a question of privilege under the provisions of rule 12 of the Rules and Procedures of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan. She alleged that the failure of the Minister of Crown Investments Corporation (Hon. Jeremy Harrison) to attend the December 2, 2025 meeting of the Standing Committee on Crown and Central Agencies to answer questions regarding supplementary estimates amounted to a breach of her privileges to fulfil her duties as an MLA and as opposition critic for SaskPower.

The Government House Leader (Hon. Tim McLeod) provided me with a written reply in accordance with rule 12(4). He indicated that the Standing Committee on Crown and Central Agencies had dealt with the matter by voting on the motions requesting the attendance of the minister and reporting the alleged breach of privilege to the Assembly.

Beauchesne's 6th Edition, paragraph 107 states, “Breaches of privilege in committee may be dealt with only by the House itself on report from the committee.” Further, paragraph 760(3) states that the Speaker has no authority to exercise procedural control over committees. Committees are and must remain masters of their own procedure.

Based on this circumstance, I do not find a prima facie case of privilege and find the question of privilege not well taken.

Motion Regarding Federal Review of Military Honours

Moved by the Hon. Tim McLeod:

That this House calls on the Government of Canada to establish an Independent Military Honours Review Board to review veterans’ cases where evidence suggests Victoria Cross criteria were met.

A debate arising and the question being put, it was agreed.

Transmittal Motion

On motion of the Hon. Tim McLeod, by leave of the Assembly:

Ordered, That the Speaker, on behalf of the Legislative Assembly, transmit copies of the motion as well as verbatim transcripts of the debate and the vote to Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada, and Pierre Poilievre, Leader of the Official Opposition of Canada.

Committee of Finance

The Assembly, according to order, resolved itself into the Committee of Finance.

Summary of resolutions adopted:

GENERAL REVENUE FUND

SUPPLEMENTARY ESTIMATES (NO. 1) 2025–26

Resolved, That there be granted to His Majesty for the twelve months ending March 31, 2026 the following sums:

The Appropriation Act, 2025 (No. 2)
