Support for Richmound

Brittney Senger: — Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Nobody in Richmound asked for this. This government is nowhere to be found on cleanup, as they were nowhere to be found when public safety concerns were raised. People were terrorized and traumatized. Some received death threats. Children were scared to play on their playground.

Even with the cult leader gone, fear lingers in the town that she may return. Is this the public safety the people of Saskatchewan can expect after 18 years of this Sask Party government?

Hon. Tim McLeod: — Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I would just say that as my colleague, Minister of Government Relations, indicated, the RCMP lead investigations. The government does not lead criminal investigations. And obviously when there are allegations that are made, the RCMP follow those closely and follow up on those to determine what the appropriate course of action is, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, we will continue to work with the people of Richmound as they work to clean up this property. We have SCAN legislation that has been expanded now to allow . . . SCAN officers, 14 more that have been added as a result of this year’s budget. We will work with these communities, this community in particular, as they work to clean up this property using the tools that we have provided through additional RCMP officers and through additional SCAN officers and expanded legislation. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
