The government is not seeking buyers for SaskTel: minister
Any sale of SaskTel would require a referendum, but Saskatchewan’s chief electoral officer believes the legislation needs to be updated to make that happen.
As per the Crown Protection Act, any sale of a Crown would require some kind of vote, but it doesn’t stipulate what form that would take.
“I haven’t thought about in terms of what a referendum actually looks like, is it a mail-in ballot, is it online, would people go to polling stations,” Dustin Duncan, minister of SaskTel explained.
But he also added there is no need to address this issue unless an actual offer comes in.
