Alberta Party joins call for environment minister’s resignation
The Alberta Party is joining the UCP in calling for Shannon Phillips to resign over the Bighorn Country consultations.
They say Phillips mislead the public about the RCMP’s involvement in cancelling public town halls, which calls her credibility into question.
“A process that has been more insult than consult, Minister Phillips came to the Bighorn area with a prescriptive option and tried to dress it up as public consultations,” says Alberta Party Leader Mandel.
“Being a cabinet minister, you must be prepared to face and answer tough questions. While intimidation and harassment are not acceptable, misleading the public as to the level of threat and the involvement of the RCMP affects the credibility of Ms. Phillips as a cabinet minister and she no longer has the confidence of the Alberta Party to be able to execute the duties attached to her role, and as such she must resign immediately,” Mandel added.
