Notley defends human services minister amid renewed calls for his resignation
EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Rachel Notley has rebuffed calls to fire her human services minister, and instead is accusing the opposition of crass grandstanding in the death of a four-year-old girl.
“(Irfan Sabir) has worked diligently,” Notley told the legislature Monday during question period.
Notley said the most productive thing for her opponents to do would be to join Sabir’s recently announced all-party panel looking to fix systemic problems with children in government care.
“We have invited members opposite to be part of that committee,” said Notley.
