POLL: Prince Albert overlooked in throne speech: NDP leader
It was a throne speech focused on “growth,” but leader of the NDP Cam Broten said it left out a key element in that growth—Prince Albert.
On Wednesday, the speech was delivered by Lieutenant Governor Vaughn Solomon Schofield at the legislature to mark the opening of the third session of the provincial government.
After the speech, Broten said the City of Prince Albert was overlooked, with only a couple items being mentioned that weren’t actually “new news.”
“PA was not even the least bit on the radar in this throne speech,” Broten said. “And that’s consistent with this government’s approach to this city because what I’ve heard from business owners, from families is that they feel like they’ve been forgotten by this government.”
