"It's a blessing," Reid said. "I just want to keep proving to them I can be the guy for the job."
The Saskatchewan government reiterated its support for Ukraine on Monday.
The government introduced a motion on the first day of the legislature’s spring sitting indicating its backing of Ukraine and its condemnation of Russia for the invasion of its neighbour.
The motion, which as introduced by Premier Scott Moe, asked that “the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan express its unwavering support for Ukraine’s people, sovereignty and territorial integrity and that this Assembly condemns Russia’s wholly unprovoked and wanton invasion of Ukraine and calls on Russia to cease and withdraw all military operations within Ukraine immediately.”
The government was hoping to get unanimous support for the motion.
If it’s adopted, the motion will be sent to the Russia’s ambassador to Canada and the Ukrainian ambassador to Canada.
“Saskatchewan stands united with the people of Ukraine,” Moe said in a media release. “Your courage and determination are an inspiration to us all.
“We unequivocally condemn this unprovoked and illegal invasion. Democracy and freedom are under attack and it is our hope that the whole world will stand up to Russia and say no.”
The provincial government previously took steps to indicate its support of Ukraine, including financial support for humanitarian efforts in that country, and waiving long-distance and texting fees for Saskatchewan residents looking to connect with family members in Ukraine.
