The Saskatchewan Party has rejected a bid to expand the auditor’s investigation into the purchase of firefighting aircraft.
The NDP opposition brought the request to an all-party public accounts committee.
But the four members of the governing Saskatchewan Party on the committee voted it down.
The NDP wants the auditor to investigate why four water bombers were grounded during the worst of this wildfire season.
A B-C company also claims the province over-spent by about 100-million-dollars on new air tankers.
