NDP Thankful for Work Done by Weighill in Regards to Office of the Chief Coroner Report

Jun 20, 2018 | 4:48 PM

The Saskatchewan NDP is thankful for the work done by former Saskatoon Chief of Police Clive Weighill after submitting a report highlighting issues with the Office of the Chief Coroner.
Some of the issues brought to light in the report include that the Regina regional coroner position is vacant, adding too many demands to the deputy chief coroner and that the Saskatoon office is understaffed.
Now the NDP is hoping the Sask. Party does more to address the issues.
Today (wed) Justice Minister Don Morgan said in a statement that the government will consider Weighill’s report and the suggested recommendations that include the province keeping its coroner’s model rather than one using medical examiners and developing a plan for responding to mass causalities.

Have Your Say

When you receive your carbon tax rebate by direct deposit have you ever not known where it came from, regardless of how it was identified on your statement?

The Candian government wants the country’s banks to identify, in customers’ bank statements when they receive the carbon rebate, that it is labelled as such.

Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the lack of a clear identifier is contributing to confusion about carbon price rebates, so he is going to change the law if he has to in order to force the big banks to identify the carbon rebate by name when doing direct deposits.

The first rebate deposits in 2022 were labelled very generically, which meant recipients had no idea why they were getting the money.

T-D and B-MO have adopted the government’s requested “CdaCarbonRebate” entry, R-B-C and Scotiabank say they couldn’t make the change in time for the rollout, and C-I-B-C is still calling it “Deposit Canada.”
