Rob Clarke, the newest runner Sask. Party leadership race, is calling for a debate in the province’s north.
Of the six debates planned for the contest, the event in North Battleford will be the closest to northern communities.
“A northern debate would go a long way in building a fresh start with communities that feel ignored by this party and government,” says Clarke. “Northern issues are unique and highly consequential for our province’s economic and social landscapes.”
La Ronge, Buffalo Narrows and Prince Albert have all been suggested by the former member of parliament as possible locations that would accommodate northern communities.
Four of the six planned debates have already taken place. Debates in Weyburn and Regina are scheduled for November 30 and December 7.
The new leader of the party and the provincial government will be chosen on January 27 of next year.
