Harpauer named deputy premier, other local MLA’s get new roles
Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe announced his new cabinet on Monday, Nov. 9 in Regina.
Humboldt-Watrous MLA Donna Harpauer was named the deputy premier, becoming the first woman to hold that position in over 30 years. Harpauer told northeastNOW she was surprised when asked by Moe to take the position, but she’s honoured to be named the deputy premier.
“Hopefully I will set a good example for all women,” she said. “Who think about politics, or consider whether it’s something for them.”
She added it takes hard work and determination to do so. Harpauer said it’s humbling to have that much effect on the province, and that she’s going to keep her head down and do the best job she can.
