Sask. government won’t change stripping laws

Jul 12, 2011 | 5:00 PM

The number of signatures raised by Regina exotic dancers may be irrelevant, as the body that governs drinking establishments, the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLG), has no plans to review its regulations.

A group of strippers are circulating a petition to have the government overturn the law that bans stripping in bars.

David Morris, spokesperson with the SLG, says a petition has no sway on the law.

“We do receive comments and petitions from time to time, but again, the minister has been clear about SLG’s position,” said Morris.

He insists the final word rests with the government, and the minister responsible for liquor and gaming, Tim Mcmilan, has stated emphatically the issue isn't a priority.
