Saskatchewan Party pays tribute to soon-to-be-retired Premier Brad Wall
SASKATOON — Premier Brad Wall wiped back tears Saturday after Saskatchewan Party members paid tribute to their soon-to-be-retired leader during the party’s annual convention.
Over 600 delegates were present at an auditorium in Saskatoon for the tribute, which included speeches by political pundit Rex Murphy and the party’s founding member, Ken Krawetz, who now serves as Wall’s chief of staff.
Murphy spoke of Wall’s defence of the oil industry, noting it isn’t easy to stand against the rest of the country and the federal government.
An emotional Wall, who has been Saskatchewan’s premier for a decade, thanked the party and members for their support.
