REGINA -- The Saskatchewan Party government has backed off, at least for now, from a legislative change the NDP charge would have led to less transparency in how public money is spent.

The government had proposed to increase the minimum value of transactions that must be approved by cabinet in an order-in-council to $350,000 from $50,000. Such orders are made public within a week.

"Once you've been caught you can do some quick retreating and that's what we're seeing today . . . it's either incompetence, which means they hadn't even read the bill, didn't understand what the bill said, or it was an effort to escape accountability," he said in question period.
