Shayne Saskiw
Edit ProfileCareer
Saskiw was the Justice and Solicitor General Critic, and Deputy House Leader, for the Wildrose Official Opposition. He clerked for the Tax Court of Canada and worked for a tax law boutique firm in Edmonton prior to joining the Vegreville office of Duncan & Craig Limited Liability Partnership.
In August 2012, Saskiw and Modern Language Association Drew Barnes toured Highway 63 to Fort McMurray, and subsequently released a report called "Getting it Done: An on-the-ground look at twinning and improving safety on Highway 63," calling on government to commit to a timeline to complete the twinning of the highway.
Politics
On March 12, 2015, Saskiw, one of the five remaining Wildrose MLAs who had not crossed the floor to join the governing PCs three months earlier, announced that while he had considered running for the leadership of the party he was disillusioned with politics and would not be running for re-election in the next general election but would instead try to promote conservative issues outside of party politics.
