Kenney: Cabinet Minister and Carbon Tax

kenney: For us to balance the budget we're going to have to ... restart our economy with pro-growth policies including the elimination of the carbon tax and doing everything we can to make Alberta open for business again, Kenney said Wednesday in Calgary, according to The Chronicle Herald. And we will have to go through a period of sustained fiscal restraint. Kenney, a former federal Conservative cabinet minister who is running for leader of the fledgling United Conservative Party, said it will take time to fix the financial mess left by Premier Rachel Notley's government. That doesn't mean cutting 20 per cent of our budget, but it does mean learning from how B.C. and other provinces deliver the same services so much more efficiently. Kenney also fired back at Notley for comments she made at the opening of an Edmonton school earlier this month. Kenney says British Columbia has a larger population and more newcomers that need help resettling, but the province spends 20 per cent less per capita than Alberta. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
