Paul Merriman is insisting he followed the advice of the province’s top doctor during COVID-19’s fourth wave, during which the government’s own notes showed Saskatchewan had, at times, the highest rates of new COVID-19 cases and deaths in the country.A Global News investigation showed the province’s chief medical health officer, Dr. Saqib Shahab, warned the health minister, more than a month before the province began transferring COVID-19 ICU patients to Ontario, that Saskatchewan’s acute care system would collapse unless the provincial government implemented more restrictions.That investigation also showed the government’s internal documents stated Saskatchewan’s new case rate was higher than the United States’ rate for weeks and that, at one point, Saskatchewan’s death rate was 33 per cent higher than the province with the next-highest rate.

Nixon indicated that rule will apply to staff at the Legislative Assembly Office but noted that since MLAs fall under a different jurisdiction, applying the policy to elected lawmakers has been more complicated.“The requirement, the need to be able to make sure that democratically elected officials can take their seat inside the chamber is something we have to address,” he said.Nixon said he expects that rules will be in place to also require MLAs who choose not to get vaccinated to produce a negative PCR test result or rapid test result within 72 hours of every scheduled shift and pay for that themselves.There are two Independent MLAs in Alberta’s legislature: Todd Loewen and Drew Barnes.
