TISDALE– Minister of Agriculture, Lyle Stewart, has stepped down from his position due to colorectal cancer.
Stewart will continue being MLA for Lumsden-Morse.
“I was recently diagnosed with colorectal cancer and will be undergoing several months of pretty aggressive treatment,” Stewart said in a statement released on Aug. 9. “Agriculture is a very important portfolio in this province and it has been a tremendous honour to serve as
Saskatchewan’s Agriculture Minister under two great Premiers over the past six years.”
Premier Scott Moe will name a new Minister of Agriculture next week.
