Feb 15, 2018 | 6:14 AM

EDMONTON- Albertans will soon be able to keep tabs on provincial politics on television.

A new channel called Legislature TV will provide what the province calls “gavel to gavel” coverage.

The plan is to broadcast debates on bills, motions and question period.

Chaldeans Mensah, a MacEwan University political science professor, says the exposure will make politicians more accountable.

The province hopes to begin broadcasting on March 8.
