The long-time politician, who is retiring at the end of this week following months of controversy, was reached by the Leader-Post on Wednesday afternoon.

“My lawyer and I are looking at it to see what it amounts to,” he said.

The charges are related to the alteration of shoreline, wildlife habitat and ecological lands on Crown land near Eston, according to the premier’s office.

A court date has been scheduled for Oct. 10 in Kindersley.

When first reached and asked about the charges, Boyd said, “I don’t have any response to it.”

Asked when the alleged infractions took place, he said, “I don’t recall.”
