Summary

I think Albertans wish the member opposite would stand up for Albertans for a chance, rather than take marching orders from the federal NDP leader. The one thing that is driving the affordability crisis, as we know, is the carbon tax which they implemented, we tried to get rid of, and her federal leader won t let us do it. If they had just agreed to eliminate it, it would reduce inflation 16%, which means we wouldn t have to see a increase in interest rates, which means people could afford to buy a house as well.
