Alberta NDP leader Rachel Notley says Smith's announcement of benefits is her way of fixing mistakes the UCP government made. yyc yeg
"Many people won't remember but six months prior to the last election, the UCP voted to increase benefits for vulnerable Albertans, only to then break that promise within weeks of taking office," she said.
She is also planning to suspend the fuel tax, a move that originally came under the Kenney government, for a six-month period. Despite the supports promised by Smith, Notley says Albertans cannot forget the past actions of the UCP government. "We'll take action on the things you don't have a choice about paying for, like groceries, utilities, insurance, gasoline, tuition and housing," she said.
