Four veteran Saskatchewan cabinet ministers won’t seek re-election

REGINA — Four veteran Saskatchewan Party government cabinet ministers — including deputy premier Donna Harpauer — will not be seeking re-election this year.

The Saskatchewan Party says Harpauer, Don McMorris, Dustin Duncan and Gord Wyant won’t be running again.

Harpauer is also the province’s finance minister.

Duncan oversees Saskatchewan’s Crown corporations, McMorris is the government relations minister, and Wyant serves in the advanced education portfolio.

Harpauer and McMorris were first elected in 1999 while Duncan was first elected in 2006 and Wyant arrived in 2010.

Premier Scott Moe says the ministers won’t be easy to replace but that it’s time for renewal.
