Premier Brad Wall has said he would be interested in doing “whatever we can to make sure people understand” that there was no conflict of interest or mistakes of bad faith made in the Global Transportation Hub (GTH) land deals.

On Thursday, a majority-government committee once again voted against an NDP Opposition-led motion supporting key witnesses testifying at a public accounts meeting focused on the deals.

Two businessmen with financial ties to the governing Saskatchewan Party made millions off of those deals, in part by helping to skyrocket the value of 204 acres of land bought by the province between 2013 and 2014 at a price that was, according to the province, too high and an overspend of taxpayer money.

This was the third time government members of the committee have moved to prevent those witnesses from coming forward.

“It’s further confirmation that they’ll go to great lengths to obfuscate and not be transparent or accountable,” said the NDP’s Cathy Sproule after the votes were counted.
