Alberta's Forever Canadian Petition: No Referendum, MLA Vote
Description
Albertas Forever Canadian petition, aiming to keep the province in Canada, has been classified as a policy issue, not constitutional. This means MLAs can vote on it directly in the legislature. The petitions founder, Thomas Lukaszuk, criticized the UCP for avoiding a vote on the issue. Meanwhile, the Chief Electoral Officer, Gordon McClure, requested a salary increase due to the overload of his duties, including handling twenty-eight recall petitions and the upcoming referendum. He warned of potential challenges in counting the referendum ballots.
