Premier Brad Wall had a 'shirty' response when the NDP criticized the government's procurement policies on Wednesday.

During Question Period on Thursday, NDP finance critic Trent Wotherspoon accused the Saskatchewan Party government of dragging its feet on creating a better "Saskatchewan-first" buying policy, noting that the New Democrats have proposed legislation that would do that.

"Let’s fix it now. Let’s put Saskatchewan first," Wotherspoon said. "Let’s create good jobs here in Saskatchewan. What does this Premier have against this?"

Wall said his government will have a announcement soon concerning Saskatchewan and a free trade deal within Canada that will put a top priority on procuring locally.

Then Wall went into attack mode, saying he did a Google search and found the New Democrats are selling T-shirts that aren't made in Saskatchewan.

"What you will find are T-shirts featuring the name of the Leader of the NDP," Wall said, as he waved a piece of paper around. "Where did they get the T-shirts from? Providence, Rhode Island, Mr. Speaker."

NDP leader Cam Broten told reporters if t-shirts were purchased from the U.S., it was a mistake. He accused Premier Brad Wall of pettiness in his response to a serious question. (CBC)

The "good news", Wall said, to catcalls from the NDP and laughs from Sask. Party members, is that the NDP has sold only four of them.

Wotherspoon accused Wall of "grandstanding" and playing games while Saskatchewan people are losing their jobs.

Outside the Legislative Chamber, NDP leader Cam Broten said he didn't know the details of where the T-shirts came from, but he would check.

"If that is the case, I think it's a mistake, bad fundraiser, it's going to be stopped," he said.

He too accused Wall of turning a serious issue into "petty politics".
