Randy Weekes
Canadian politician
Randall Percival Weekes (born 1956) is a Canadian politician.

He served as the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly from 2020 until 2024.
Early life
Weekes was born in Biggar, Saskatchewan, where he lived on a ranch. He attended the University of Saskatchewan.
Political career
Weekes was first elected to the Saskatchewan Legislature in the 1999 provincial election as a member of the fledgling Saskatchewan Party, a new conservative party established in 1997 by a coalition of former Progressive Conservative and Liberal MLAs and under the leadership of former Reform Party Member of Parliament Elwin Hermanson. Weekes was re-elected five times during his political career, before losing a contested nomination ahead of the 2024 provincial election. When the Saskatchewan Party won the 2007 election under the leadership of Brad Wall, Weekes was appointed government whip. Weekes later served a stint in cabinet from 2012 to 2014 in the newly established ministry of Rural and Remote Health. Following the 2020 election, which the party won under the leadership of Scott Moe, Weekes was elected Speaker of the Legislative Assembly over former Speaker Mark Docherty.

Why this record matters
The phrase “canadian politician” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7292505. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1956, 1999, 2024 and 2020.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
