Under the Radar: Question Period items you may have missed for the week of February 16-19, 2010
Every day the Legislature is convened, Alberta Liberal MLAs ask between seven and nine questions to the Premier and his ministers.
Typically only the first two or three questions are picked up by the media. Here are some questions and government responses Albertans might be interested in:
Laurie Blakeman asks for better protection for Alberta’s water supply – see http://bit.ly/cbH1Yq
Darshan Kang stands up for the free speech rights of Albertans forced to take down protest signs – see http://bit.ly/aWQxck
Hugh MacDonald demands that the Stelmach Conservatives acknowledge not just their deficit, but the debt they’ve created – see http://bit.ly/9MAsLK
Bridget Pastoor discovers that the new “intensity scale” to determine PDD supports could result in reduction of benefits to vulnerable Albertans – see http://bit.ly/9IG3k4
Dave Taylor wonders how Albertans who depend on rent supplements will stay in their homes when supplements expire in one year, but the waiting list to get into affordable housing is three years long – see http://bit.ly/c3s0oj
