Mr. Hehr: What has been lost in the conversation regarding the Alberta Liberal platform is that we will probably balance the budget. Let’s think about this for a second, not think about left or right but simply what is best for today and for tomorrow.

Dr. Swann: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Hehr: The Premier promised full public disclosure about changes to the incremental ethane extraction program, eventually approved by cabinet, but documents obtained clearly show that government staffers were writing press releases with industry prior to the approval.
