Michael Chisholm (born August 26, 1948)[1] is a Canadian provincial politician. He was a Saskatchewan Party member of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan from 2003 to 2011, and is also a member of the federal Conservative Party of Canada.[2] In 2003 he was elected for the newly created constituency of Cut Knife-Turtleford, and was re-elected in 2007. He is the vice-chair of the government's public-accounts committee.[3]
Personal life
Chisholm was born in North Battleford, Saskatchewan and grew up on a farm in Maidstone.[1] Prior to running for public office in 2003, Chisholm was an accountant.[1] He is married with three sons and three grandchildren.
Controversy
Chisholm was involved in a minor controversy in May 2008, when he called NDP MLA Deb Higgins a "dumb bitch" during a debate. Chisholm did not directly say the statement to Higgins personally, but it was audible enough to be recorded as he sat back down. Chisholm resigned as legislative secretary a few days later.[4]
