Berkly Catton, Brayden Yager, Caden Price and Tanner Howe were all named.
Much like his B.C. counterpart, Premier Brad Wall still gets an extra salary from the Saskatchewan Party.
This issue has been raised for a second time because of the news headlines generated about Christy Clark.
Since 2011, Clark has received about $277,000 from the B.C. Liberal Party to top up her government salary.
Much like he first did in 2007, Wall receives about $37,000 from the Saskatchewan Party each year for business outside of his legislative duties.
The money is viewed as a payment for events like leaders’ dinners, speeches and the like. It has been pointed out by party insiders that Wall does not hold private exclusive-type events for patron-like guests.
Wall’s extra salary is reported publicly each year and was cleared by the Conflict of Interest Commissioner’s office.
Wall and Clark are the only premiers that receive such a salary. Others have their expenses covered.
