Background

Shayne Saskiw Shayne Saskiw

Born in 1981 and raised in the area of Two Hills, Alberta, Saskiw completed his Bachelor of Commerce degree in 2003 and graduated from the University of Alberta Faculty of Law in 2006 with the second highest academic standing in his class. He clerked for the Tax Court of Canada and worked for a tax law boutique firm in Edmonton prior to joining the Vegreville office of Duncan & Craig LLP.

Legislative career

In August 2012, Saskiw and MLA Drew Barnes toured Highway 63 to Fort McMurray, and subsequently released a report called "Getting it Done: An on-the-ground look at twinning and improving safety on Highway 63," calling on government to commit to a timeline to complete the twinning of the highway.

Saskiw was one of the five remaining Wildrose MLAs who had not crossed the floor to join the governing PCs in December 2014. On March 12, 2015, he announced that while he had considered running for the leadership of the party, he was disillusioned with politics and would not be running for re-election in the next general election but would instead try to promote conservative issues outside of party politics.
