Notley says her candidates reflect Alberta and she is confident there are plenty of “leadership-type” people that she could put into cabinet.
She says youth is a good thing, especially in Alberta, the youngest province in the country.
Notley has already acknowledged that some of her candidates are nominated both federally and provincially.
