Show Notes
Albertas new legislative rules make it harder for opposition to hold government accountable. The United Conservative government, led by Premier Danielle Smith, has extended the response deadline for opposition questions from 30 to 120 days. This change, along with other updates, has sparked controversy, with opposition voices claiming its a shield against sensitive issues. The government argues it frees up time for broader debates and prevents any one member from overwhelming the schedule. With just 54 sitting days left this year and the next election not until 2027, many questions could remain unanswered for years, fueling ongoing debates about openness in the province.
