Jason Kenney’s arch-foe in caucus took his fight with the Alberta premier to the floor of the legislature Thursday and received in return a backhanded verbal slap from a cabinet minister.
Brian Jean, recently elected as a United Conservative Party member of the legislature, used his first questions in the house to suggest Kenney is failing to fight for a fair deal for the province in Confederation.
“What will it take to make the government of Alberta stand up for the needs and worries of Albertans and start the process of fixing Canada?” Jean asked Kenney during question period.
Kenney was not in the house at the time, so Justice Minister Tyler Shandro answered for him.
