 “We believe in good fiscal discipline. The NDP have let Albertans down with their total lack of fiscal discipline” contends Clark. “The UCP is too far right, especially on social issues, they have no plan beyond devastating cuts.”

Outlining the Alberta Party’s plan to have both a strong economy and strong society, Clark says they would reign-in operational spending and challenge people in the public service to ‘do more with less’.

 “That doesn’t mean massive cut backs, it doesn’t mean huge class size increases, what it means is just challenging the public service and there are so many great people, to find ways of doing more” explained Clark.

“The NDP have made absolutely no effort to do that, it doesn’t need to be all that difficult to simply constrain the growth of spending in government.”

From a philosophical stand point, Clark stated there are many people involved that are going to take them to the next level.

 “There are people here today that are going to run for office for the Alberta Party, who are going to organize constituency associations, help us develop policy, help us fundraise, do all the things we need to do to get our message out to Albertans.”

Clark said the party wants to “give Albertans something to vote ‘for’, not having to vote ’against’ what they don’t like but vote ‘for’ what they do believe in.”

Looking back at his time as leader of the Alberta Party, Clark says he’s happy with what he was able to accomplish in the role but has now thrown the doors open for a new leadership process.

 “It’s going to bring even more people into this party, get people really engaged, give them a reason to join the party, to get behind a candidate” points out Clark. “I’m really excited about that and I may still run, I haven’t ruled that out.”

However, according to Clark, he’s very much committed to running again in the 2019 provincial election as an MLA.

 Once a new party leader is in place, Clark says the priority will be to continue building the party.

 “Nominating candidates, developing great policy, travelling the province and communicating that policy widely and of course raising the money that we need to contest the election” points out Clark.

“Make no mistake, the Alberta Party is in this to win the 2019 election.”
