Alberta Interim PC Leader Hammers NDP on Economy and Carbon Tax Bill
LETHBRIDGE: After a devastating loss in the last provincial election, Alberta’s Progressive Conservative Party is taking steps to engage and have a conversation with Albertans on policy issues.
The party launched an initiative dubbed “Engage – A Conversation with Albertans”, which invites people to talk to the party about the budget, finances and where the province is headed, as the government deals with challenges of low oil prices and job losses.
Interim party leader, Ric McIver, was in Lethbidge Thursday to speak to participants at the Southern Alberta Council on Public Affairs.
McIver says one of the pressing issues is to make sure the province has a business and job friendly environment, which is something he says the province doesn’t have right now.
