Smith declined to say how many of her ministers attended playoff games as guests of Mraiche
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says she doesn’t think her cabinet ministers and political staff accepting tickets to luxury suites at playoff hockey games runs afoul of ethics rules.
Smith made the comments Friday responding to reporters’ questions at a KDays breakfast in Edmonton, part of the launch of the city’s annual summer festival. The medicine, which came from Istanbul-based Atabay Pharmaceuticals, cost taxpayers $80 million, but its shipments were beset by delays and its use in hospitals eventually halted over safety concerns.MHCare Medical did not respond to an emailed request for comment.
When asked how she would explain to Albertans who might interpret the game tickets as a quid pro quo, Smith said people expect elected representatives to support the Oilers’ playoff run.Last year, Smith said she had declined an invitation to the NHL’s Heritage Classic outdoor hockey game in Edmonton because ethics rules precluded her from staying for more than 20 minutes in private suites at special events.
“Having ministers and staff sit in lobbyists’ luxury boxes while we are facing an affordability crisis in this province not only looks bad, it shows they’re living in a different world than the average Albertan,” Nenshi said in a statement.
