Political Panel: Privatization talk heats up at the legislature

Privatization is a word that tends to spark a lively debate in Saskatchewan, whether it's coffee row or CBC Saskatchewan's Political Panel.

This week, the Saskatchewan Party government introduced a law defining privatization as 50 per cent or more of a Crown being sold.

The NDP is strongly opposed and has accused Premier Brad Wall of wanting to dismantle SaskTel or other publicly owned corporations without first holding a vote or referendum.

On Friday, Leader-Post political columnist Murray Mandryk and CBC legislative reporter Stefani Langenegger weighed in during their weekly chat with Morning Edition host Sheila Coles.

As you'll hear, the panelists had areas of agreement, but also some sharply differing views.
