She later returned to take questions, comparing the protesters to the Opposition NDP and saying both seek to misrepresent her position on health care.

Neither Smith nor Notley have any scheduled public appearances on Friday.
UCP candidates RJ Sigurdson, Devin Dreeshen and Chantelle de Jonge are scheduled to make an announcement on energy policy in Okotoks on Friday morning.
