Charges against Sask. MLA Nadine Wilson headed to arbitration

Sep 6, 2019 | 10:13 AM

The assault charges against Saskatchewan Party MLA Nadine Wilson will be heading to mediation, not criminal court.

Wilson’s lawyer, Mark Brayford, said the request was made Thursday by the prosecutor.

Wilson stepped down from her role as provincial secretary after the charges were laid last month.

Premier Scott Moe said at the time that the charges stem from a private family matter.

A mediation date has been set for October 7.
