Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe apologized Monday after a convicted killer attended the government’s tough−on−crime throne speech last week—and went a step further by stripping caucus duties from the member who invited Colin Thatcher.

While he didn’t extend the invite to Thatcher, Moe said he is ultimately responsible as premier and leader of the government caucus.
