Premier Smith’s Panel Makes Changes to Pension, Policing Surveys to Fix ‘Oversight’
EDMONTON, ALBERTA, JUL 16 – About 500 attendees debated proposals for a provincial police force and pension plan, with a majority supporting the pension idea despite vocal opposition at the Edmonton town hall.
- Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and her hand-picked panel held the second summer town hall in Edmonton on Wednesday with about 500 attendees.
- The Edmonton gathering saw a more critical audience than the previous evening's town hall in Red Deer, with at least one-third of attendees actively questioning Smith and the panel on issues such as establishing a provincial police force, constitutional amendments, and immigration policies.
- Attendees debated hot-button topics including a provincial pension plan, creating a provincial police force, immigration control, constitutional amendments, and some pushed for Alberta separation.
- One speaker, Todd, said he preferred to stick with the Canadian Pension Plan and not gamble with Smith's government, while Opposition Leader Naheed Nenshi called the panel's efforts 'such a sham.'
- Smith's panel is organizing eight additional town halls, including a third session in Edmonton scheduled for next month, as well as upcoming meetings in both Fort McMurray and Lloydminster set for later in August to gather further input.
