Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, four days after announcing she won't answer questions on her ethics investigation, says she will limit questions on all other topics.
Smith told reporters in Calgary Friday that she will only allow reporters to ask a single question at news conferences and not allow them the traditional followup query."We're sort of getting into election mode, so we have lots of people want to answer lots of questions."
"It's just each media outlet will get one question instead of getting two while we're in this period of the campaign, because I just need to make sure that we're getting to as many people as possible," Smith said. The Opposition NDP responded quickly, promising to answer any and all questions put to them, including followups."If Danielle Smith isn't willing to explain herself to Albertans, she shouldn't be premier. Albertans deserve better."
