Top Saskatchewan ministers Herb Cox and Bill Boyd ask to leave cabinet
Environment Minister Herb Cox and Economy Minister Bill Boyd will both be missing from the Saskatchewan Party cabinet after the upcoming cabinet shuffle.
Cox has asked the premier to leave cabinet while he battles cancer for a second time. The MLA for the Battlefords will be undergoing stem cell treatment for cancer.
“I have gone through this treatment once before a few years back and I know it would make it extremely difficult to continue to perform my duties as a cabinet minister,” Cox said in a news release.
He says while he enjoys serving in cabinet, his health has to come first and the Sask. Party has many other members who deserve the opportunity.
