Horner said it’s “highly unlikely” the notwithstanding clause will be used in the AUPE case, but… "I'm hesitant to ever take anything totally off the table. It's a tool that the government has, but it's certainly not something that we're focused on. "

An effort to recall UCP MLA Angela Pitt has received official approval to start gathering signatures. 14,813 needed by February 3. Not easy in -20. (The chief electoral officer spilled the beans on this one earlier this week.) #ableg #cdnpoli

Alberta’s finance minister has responded to the AUPE strike vote by saying his 12% over 4 year wage offer (same as teachers) is fair. Horner says the union is asking for increases up 55% and their demands would cost Albertans an additional $2B. #ableg #cdnpoli

#BREAKING AUPE just voted 98% in favour of striking. This is 16,000 nursing care members. They could serve strike notice on Nov. 17, but more bargaining is scheduled. Say they are tired of stagnant wages and unsafe working conditions. #ableg #cdnpoli

Another UCP cabinet member is facing a recall effort but writing it off as “left-wing activists” trying to force an early general election. As Sean Amato reports, the justice minister also shot down rumours that the rules will be changed. #ableg #cdnpoli https://t.co/UvqbHmhRne

UCP's Dale Nally, on word he is also the target of a recall petition: "Let’s be frank. This is a left-wing activist organization. They are well-funded, well-organized and they are targeting 21 MLAs in the hopes that they can recall 3, so they can force a general election."

Alberta's justice minister was asked today about rumours the UCP will change recall rules to protect themselves from multiple petitions... "No amendments or repeal of the Recall Act are being contemplated at this time, no," Mickey Amery told reporters. #ableg #cdnpoli

Alberta’s chief electoral officer asked for an additional $13.5 million Monday, saying it’s urgently needed to process a rush of recall and referendum petitions. As Sean Amato reports, UCP MLAs approved just $1.5 million, for now. #ableg #cdnpoli https://t.co/XX4DLAvSns

The above statement is from an Elections Alberta spokesperson.

To clarify: The NDP voted in favour of the increase Elections Alberta requested. They accuse the UCP of failing to fund the government's own legislation.
