Today’s revelations of inappropriate travel expenses from the former Premier are unacceptable. Albertans I’ve spoken with over the course of my campaign are reacting the same way I am. It angers me - and it angers them - to hear that this kind of behaviour was conducted by someone in public office. I was not part of the previous government and like other taxpaying Albertans I have watched with dismay and disappointment as the bond of trust between the people of Alberta and their government has eroded. That bond must be repaired. Albertans do not need excuses from those who were at the table when these decisions were made, they need new leadership and a government that will hold themselves to the highest ethical standard. I have been clear over the course of my campaign that under my leadership we will restore public trust and improve accountability by putting strong rules in place, and enforcing them with discipline.” There is no room in government for the blatant abuse of taxpayer dollars, and if public officials fail to observe this the RCMP should be called to investigate and these abuses must be met with the full force of the law.
