Randy Weekes

Randall Percival Weekes (born 1956) is a Canadian provincial politician. He had been the Saskatchewan Party member of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan for the constituency of Biggar-Sask Valley since being elected in 1999.

When the Saskatchewan Party won the 2007 election, Weekes was appointed as the government whip. He served in several other positions throughout the 26th, 27th, and 28th legislatures, including a stint in cabinet from 2012 to 2014. Following the 2020 general election, Weekes was elected as Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan.

Weekes has attended anti-abortion March for Life rallies in Regina and Ottawa. In the 2018 Saskatchewan Party leadership election, Weekes supported Ken Cheveldayoff. In December 2023, he lost re-nomination for the 2024 Saskatchewan general election to Kim Gartner.

On May 15, 2024, prior to the end of the legislative session, Weekes posted a photo on X of his Saskatchewan Party membership card cut in half, with the caption “Enough is Enough", indicating that he had left the party. During a speech at the final session the next day, Weekes accused assembly leader Jeremy Harrison of trying to influence his rulings by sending him "intimidating and harassing" text messages, and of bringing a hunting rifle into the legislature building. Premier Scott Moe responded to the allegations, claiming they were "third-party hearsay". On May 24, 2024, Harrison stepped down as house leader, admitting that prior to a trip, he had—with security's knowledge—briefly brought a cased hunting rifle into the building ahead of a trip so that it would not be left unattended in his vehicle, but that "In retrospect, I should not have done this."

Weekes officially resigned from the Saskatchewan Party caucus on June 24, 2024, to sit as an independent until the next election.
