McNally Enterprises has launched a lawsuit against the Saskatchewan government.
The business believes the land it sold to the Global Transportation Hub (GTH) was undervalued and it lost out financially.

“There is inconsistencies with what they have been saying, his justifications do not hold water.”
The provincial auditor is looking into recent land transactions by the GTH.
