Rachel Notley, Leader of the Alberta NDP Official Opposition, issued the following statement in response to Bill 18: Provincial Priorities Act:   “This new legislation is going to wrap municipalities, post-secondary institutions and health authorities in a giant spool of red tape.   “Danielle Smith's government has neglected the municipalities that deliver critical services and build needed housing and infrastructure. For her to be playing petulant partisan games is not securing Albertans their share of federal dollars.   “Under her watch, Albertans with diabetes have been told they won’t be able to access critical, expensive diabetes medication. Alberta women won’t be able to access contraception. And now, Danielle Smith wants to continue an endless tirade that will result in more red tape for municipalities on the front lines of building critical housing and infrastructure our communities need.   “This Bill will make things more expensive for Albertans who need these critical infrastructure investments, and will leave funds on the table in Ottawa instead of getting Albertans what they deserve.    “Albertans haven’t seen any benefit in their health care, in our school systems, or in their household budget at the end of the day as a result of Smith’s squabbles with the federal government. This Bill will be no different. Danielle Smith’s record of achieving nothing speaks for itself.”
