When the spring sitting begins on March 12th a new speaker will be policing the happenings in the Saskatchewan Legislature.

The current speaker, Corey Tochor, has announced he is stepping down from the job to pursue a possible opportunity in federal politics. There is no word exactly WHAT that opportunity might be.

His resignation as speaker comes into effect right away, but he will continue to represent Saskatoon-Eastview as their MLA for the time being.
