A rural United Conservative backbencher kicked out of caucus last week for opposing the government’s budget says he’s disappointed but isn’t ruling out a return to the party.
Scott Sinclair, the now-independent legislature member for Lesser Slave Lake, has been critical of the proposed budget for spending more on Edmonton and Calgary than rural communities like his.
He says he stands by those concerns, and the feedback he’s received from his constituents for speaking up has been overwhelmingly positive.
Sinclair says he has no plans to cross the floor and join the Opposition NDP.
