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:

Hugh MacDonald asks why the government has plenty of cash to pay for private school tuition for the children of elite PC appointees, but is forcing the closure of public schools – see http://bit.ly/a2RwTr

Kevin Taft asks the Minister of Health to reverse the gag order preventing doctors and nurses from speaking out on capacity problems at the Tom Baker cancer centre – see http://bit.ly/aAV2f1

Kent Hehr asks the Stelmach administration to protect grizzlies by classifying them as an endangered species – see http://bit.ly/cC9CoP

Darshan Kang asks the Stelmach administration to fight impaired driving by lowering the legal blood alcohol limit to 0.5 – see http://bit.ly/bOIoOP

Bridget Pastoor asks why Alberta’s syphilis infection rate is twice the national average – see http://bit.ly/acfnJq
