Time for Referendum: Wall

I guess the pundits are right. Calvert is for the status quo. On the other hand Wall is for change maybe, depending which way the polls are going!

REGINA (SNN) -- Premier Lorne Calvert says he doesn't think a referendum on daylight saving time would clear up the eternal time debate in Saskatchewan.

Saskatchewan Party Leader Brad Wall has promised a referendum or plebiscite in conjunction with a provincial election if his party forms government, and he said this week he is still committed to holding a referendum four years from now at the time of the provincial vote, if his party forms government on Wednesday.

But Calvert said he's not sure what a referendum would decide.
