Mr. Speaker, the Government of Alberta consulted the people, got their message and then went to the people in an election and got a bigger mandate. This government actually had its mandate diminished. I think the minister could find a stronger point to hang his argument on.
One line in the throne speech on debt reduction and tax relief and 20 pages on spending increases and no consultation. Why will the minister not admit that the real reason he will not consult is that he is not sure he will get the answer he wants?
