Mr. Speaker, when Alberta moved into a surplus position the first thing it did was survey the public in Alberta to find out what it wanted to do. The people said pay down the debt. But not this government. It will consult people about what to put on the $2 coin but not on how to spend the 75 billion $2 coins that taxpayers have to send in every year.
If Alberta is not afraid of going to the people to find out what they want to do with the surplus, why is this government afraid to do that?
