The Speaker of the Saskatchewan legislative assembly is asking the governing Saskatchewan Party to stop running a political commercial using video from the legislature because a byelection campaign is underway.

In a letter to Saskatchewan Party president Gary Meschishnick dated Sept. 23, Don Toth says the rules of the assembly do not allow the use of legislature video during an election or byelection period.

Residents of Saskatoon Northwest will be voting in a byelection Oct. 18.

"Out of respect for and in recognizing the dignity of the legislative assembly as an institution, as well as the democratic process, it is my hope that you will act quickly to refrain from running the ... commercial," Toth, who is also Saskatchewan Party MLA for Moosomin.

Toth's letter, which was released Friday, made reference specifically to an ad the party has used to attack the opposition NDP. The ad includes a five-second video clip of NDP Leader Dwain Lingenfelter referring to Premier Brad Wall as, "the little thief from Swift Current" during debate in the legislature earlier this year.
