Employees say Alberta’s Electricity Minister travelled to B.C. for ‘home repairs, not vacation’

CALGARY —
CTV Information Calgary has verified Minister of Vitality Sonya Savage drove to her British Columbia assets above the holidays for what her staff is calling “essential servicing.”

Minister Savage’s push secretary statements the Calgary North West consultant went to look at on her house located exterior of Kelowna next a water line substitute — and that she was not there for a “vacation trip” more than the holidays.

“The Minister did not intend to invest any of the vacations in British Columbia and returned house to her driving in Calgary immediately after 72 several hours,” stated an e mail from press secretary Kavi Bal.

The provincial governments of both Alberta and British Columbia have questioned men and women to not journey until it’s necessary.

But a lot of politicians have overlooked that request. 5 UCP MLAs and 3 large-ranking staffers still left the country in December. Leading Jason Kenney ordered them all again house Friday, although the journey has quite a few Albertans up in arms. 

Savage’s circumstance is very similar to a person that leaked out before on the weekend.

Calgary Sign Hill MP Ron Liepert’s place of work confirmed the politician flew to California 2 times during the pandemic. Workers say both of those trips were being to check out on his home for essential motives.

Senior United Conservative staffer Matt Wolf also remaining the province in excess of the vacations. The Premier’s government director of challenges management states he travelled to Saskatchewan for the holidays to keep with his mom and dad.
