Smith, Notley in fierce face-off over Calgary Flames arena deal abpoli ableg yyc Column by sunrickbell:
The NDP leader says her people have been told there are details being kept secret for the next six to eight weeks until a “definitive agreement” is inked.
Notley adds the six-week to eight-week wait “just too coincidentally lines up with right after the provincial election.”Notley says Smith is being “very, very disrespectful” and the “extreme level of secrecy” should “raise the neck hairs of every Calgarian and Albertan.” The NDP leader adds if Smith doesn’t come clean on the deal, Albertans need to ask themselves if Smith signed the best deal for taxpayers or the best deal for her own personal political chances.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.If she was running the show, Notley says she would review and release the full details and make sure taxpayers got the best deal possible “with everyone paying their fair share.
She sees this deal falling under the category of things Smith will do and say when it comes to five weeks before the election. She says Smith cannot be trusted.The NDP numero uno is “open to having that conversation” but it’s “super-hypothetical at this point.”“We would obviously look to get all the information. We would look to see how much we could share with Albertans,” says Notley.
“We would look to get a whole bunch of independent expert advice from economists, from accountants and then we would look at what’s the best deal for Calgarians and taxpayers.”Article content
