NDP Leader Rachel Notley pitches stability to sold-out business crowd in Calgary
By The Canadian Press on December 15, 2022.
CALGARY – Opposition NDP Leader Rachel Notley says she would lead a “stable, no surprises government” focused on growing the Alberta economy and providing strong public health care and education if elected next year. Notley spoke about her party’s plans today at a sold-out luncheon for Calgary’s business community. There was applause several times during her speech to the Calgary Chamber of Commerce, which also included representatives from the arts community and post-secondary schools. Chamber president and CEO Deborah Yedlin says the business community is looking for certainty and stability to allow for strong investment in the province. The UCP government was quick to respond to the speech, saying in a statement that Notley hurt the economy when she was premier. Notley says her government was successful on the Trans Mountain project, the first new oil pipeline in 50 years, and adds she has learned a lot about the job as premier in the past seven years.
