Well that's interesting!
At 7 months and 18 days from one election to the next, the Saskatchewan Party's Lorenz holds the distinction of having had the shortest term in the legislature. Elected in the March 2003 by-election in Battleford-Cut Knife, he failed to get the party's no­mi­na­tion in Cut Knife-Turtleford for the gen­er­al election held the following November.
