In a letter released Wednesday morning, Drew Barnes announced he would continue to serve as an independent for the remainder of his third term but was not considering a reunion with the UCP.
Barnes did not indicate whether he intended to seek a fourth term as the MLA for the southeast Alberta riding as an independent candidate or a member of another party, but did laud the approach of Premier Smith. "I strongly support the concept of a Sovereignty Act for Alberta, and I believe that Premier Smith is genuine in her desire to assert Alberta's jurisdictional power," said Barnes in his letter. "In addition, I support the premier's leadership campaign promise to end vaccine mandates and vaccine passport discrimination through changes to the Human Rights Act.
