OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has extended the term of Saskatchewan Lt.-Gov. Vaughn Schofield until the end of December.

Schofield was sworn in to what is usually a five-year term in March 2012.

She had a successful business career before she was appointed by former prime minister Stephen Harper.

In the 1980s, she was chair of the board of a 200,000-member crime prevention program and travelled North America establishing Crime Watch groups.
