The legislative assembly can be a place of bickering, fighting and sometimes childish behaviour.

Yet this Monday's assembly at the Saskatchewan legislature was sombre, emotional and hopeful after a tragic crash involving the Humboldt Broncos team bus.

On the Ledge host Adam Hunter brings you the statements from MLAs paying tribute to the people and communities affected by the tragedy.

On the Ledge host Adam Hunter sits down with Saskatchewan Finance Minister Donna Harpauer. She will be the second woman ever to deliver a budget and the first for the Saskatchewan Party.

Adam speaks to her about the April 10 budget, her nerves and why being a woman gives the Canadian tradition of wearing new shoes on budget day a "whole new perspective."

She reflects her background, the roles she's held that brought her to this moment and her love of math.
