Taft got majority support Monday in the assembly for a non-binding motion to have rodeo given official sport status.
But Culture Minister Lindsay Blackett has thrown a rope around the idea, arguing that other sports are just as deserving, so rodeo shouldn't be given special status.
"Does a province need a provincial sport? I frankly don't think so," Blackett told reporters on his way into the assembly Tuesday.
"We have lots of great sports and organizations and participants across the province. I don't think we have to show one over another."
