Transparency and Wall....not this time either!!!

The NDP accused the Saskatchewan Party government Wednesday of drawing a veil of secrecy over government operations with legislation introduced this week.

Bill 31 raises from $50,000 to $350,000 the dollar amount on transactions that must be approved by cabinet in an order-in-council, which are then made public within a week.

"If, for instance, this premier and cabinet wanted to make some very significant expenditures of up to $350,000 to individuals or groups in a year leading up to an election, then of course none of those expenditures would be traceable or observable until well past the election," Opposition Leader Lorne Calvert told reporters.
