Alberta Premier Alison Redford denied accusations that she has broken campaign promises.
The opposition says Premier Alison Redford is not fulfilling some of her key promises. Those promises include fixed election dates and a public health care inquiry.
Redford and her government have offered up two bills to address those promises.
The Health Quality Council of Alberta Act would allow the H-Q-C to appoint a panel to conduct the inquiry which could be headed by a judge. The fixed election date bill would see elections held between March 1st and May 31st every four years.
“The government always has a 50 yard head start in a 100 metre dash,” says Alberta Liberal leader Raj Sherman, “It’s really about fairness. The premier has broken promise after promise. You know, fixed election dates has become seasons now.”
“At the end of the day what Albertans will determine going into the next election is who actually constructively delivered on their commitments,” said Redford, who has been in the premier’s office for less than two months.
Opposition parties say it will be hard to be election-ready for the spring as a result.
