REGINA – The Saskatchewan government would consider selling crown corporation SaskTel, but only after the potential move was put to voters, says premier Brad Wall.
A Regina Leader-Post report says that while there is no offer currently on the table, Wall would entertain one.
“If we get an offer and we think it’s one that generates a significant amount of money for the province, maybe enough to eliminate our operating debt, if it takes care of the jobs question in Regina, if it provides the opportunity for better coverage, we’re at least going to take it to the people”, said Wall in the report.
Former health minister Dustin Duncan, recently shuffled into the job of minister of energy as well as the minister responsible for SaskTel, would most likely lead a potential sale process, the report continues.
