“House leadership are going to be responding in due course on that. So it’s not really my response to give,” Harrison said Friday in Saskatoon, where he discussed the latest provincial job numbers released by Statistics Canada.
“That will be coming very shortly.”
When pressed to expand, Harrison said he has “spoken to this repeatedly. I really don’t have anything more to add.”
He again said house leadership will respond soon, and “it will be dealt with in that fashion.”
Harrison resigned last month as government house leader — but remains as minister of trade, export and development — after the allegations made by Weekes in his end-of-session address.
When the matter initially came to light, Harrison denied it happened. Days later, he admitted he did bring a gun inside the legislature but insisted security was kept in the loop. Harrison said a conversation with family members jogged his memory.
According to a leaked letter, however, security was not informed Harrison planned to bring a gun into the building.
The letter, dated April 29, 2016, is from the then-acting sergeant-at-arms. The legislature was not sitting at the time, as the provincial election had been two weeks earlier.
