Dear Lord. We pray today
for the Honourable Paul Merriman. We pray that you would help him to be
especially tuned to the details of the work around him. Help him to drill down
into the specifics where other people may not see the need. May he be a
tenacious leader who sees too it that the right things get done. Amen.
First elected to the Saskatchewan legislature in 2011, Paul Merriman is honoured to continue serving his constituency and province following his re-election in 2016.
Paul has called Saskatchewan home for nearly thirty years, and has lived in Saskatoon since 1994. Born and raised in Toronto, he moved here with his family in 1988.
Prior to the 2011 election, Paul was the executive director of the Saskatoon Food Bank and Learning Centre. He was also formerly employed by SaskEnergy for eight years, setting up a province-wide salvage operation of used material. He has also owned and operated two small businesses.
Paul is currently the Government House Leader, having previously served as Government Whip. He also sits on the Board of Internal Economy, the Public Accounts Committee, the Private Bills Committee, the Privileges Committee, the House Services Committee, and the caucus Management Committee.
