Mr. Speaker, to quote Alberta's premier-elect, “This is what change looks like”.
I think we made a bit of history last night. An early spring blizzard hit Alberta, but it did not dampen our spirits because we also experienced an orange chinook.
Albertans looked in the mirror and decided it was time for change, a monumental change. Albertans embraced Notley's message that they did not need to repeat history, instead they could make history, and make it they did, electing the first strong majority NDP government for Alberta.
The NDP ran on a platform of hope, putting families first and ensuring a genuinely sustainable resource development for Alberta.
I look forward to working with my constituent, Rachel Notley, premier-elect of Alberta.
As the media have said about Rachel Notley, “This is what a political phenomena looks like”. Indeed.
