Heated Regina council meeting ends with Coun. Dan Leblanc’s removal from CSIR board
However, council voted seven to two in favour of LeBlanc’s removal, with LeBlanc and Coun. Andrew Stevens being the only two voting against. Coun. Shanon Zachidniak was not present.
“Councillor LeBlanc is a good man but not the right man to represent this council on that board,” said Ward 2 Coun. Bob Hawkins.Wednesday was the first time Regina mayor Sandra Masters explained her reasoning for wanting LeBlanc removed – she stated it stemmed from his previous lawsuit against city manager Nikki Anderson.
“Put yourself in Miss Anderson’s shoes when she shows up to that board meeting and it’s Coun. LeBlanc who is there,” Masters explained. “I’m going to suggest that she feels intimidated and she felt harassed with a lawsuit … those are just my words.”Stevens, who voted against the decision, questions why no community members had shown up or publicly voiced their support of having LeBlanc removed.
