MLA Doyle Vermette will once again represent the New Democrats in the Cumberland constituency in the next provincial election.
Vermette was acclaimed as the NDP candidate at a nomination meeting on Saturday in La Ronge.
He says housing continues to be one of the major issues of concern for people in his riding.
Vermette also says the Sask Party government has not been doing enough to consult Aboriginal groups about development taking place in the north.
“I think people are getting tired and they are going to start demanding that and I think that the court cases that have been won by First Nations and by Métis is making it clear that the government, the Crowns, have an obligation to make sure they are accommodating First Nations when it comes to concerns they are raising,” he says.
Vermette was first elected in a by-election in 2008.
The next provincial election is expected in the spring of 2016.
