Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall said "of course" the minister responsible for Saskatchewan Government Insurance has been in meetings about a potential partial sale of the Crown corporation. Wall was responding to comments from NDP interim leader Trent Wotherspoon during question period on Wednesday. 'Government looking for cash'Wotherspoon said Wall is breaking a campaign promise made in the last election not to privatize the Crowns corporations. Under Bill 40, the government is allowed to sell up to 49 per cent of a Crown corporation. Such a sale, Wall said, does not mean privatization because the majority of the shares would remain with taxpayers.
