Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said she was concerned about getting in the way when asked why she didn't appear earlier before the media when an outbreak of E. Coli was discovered at several Calgary daycares 11 days earlier. Smith said, "I’ve watched a lot of instances where politicians show up at disaster scenes and people are yelling 'We don't want you here, we want the emergency workers focused on helping us." She added, "The kids were getting the care immediately, the public health investigation began immediately."
