Justice minister @kayceemadu proposing amendments to Bill 81. It makes a number of changes including a $4000 cap on donations to nomination contestants. Still not tax deductible. #ableg
Madu says he listened to concerns raised in second reading on Bill 81.
The NDP had a number of concerns including uncapped donations to nomination contestants. Madu is proposing a $4,000 cap.
NDP is concerned that move still doesn’t prevent someone from donating $4,000 to as many nomination candidates as possible (and isn’t included in the maximum annual limit of $4200 for a single donor) #ableg
It sounds like a single donor is limited to $4,000 aggregate to what they can give to nomination candidates under Madu’s amendments #ableg
NDP MLA @DeronBilous is suggesting the new cap for nomination donations is likely due to concerns by UCP MLAs, especially those who rebelled against @jkenney leadership, that unlimited donations could be used against them to push them out. #ableg

Jason Kenney now live on Facebook #ableg
The problem with Facebook lives is that Kenney can claim he is making himself available to the public. But he and his staff can choose the questions and there are no follow-ups. #ableg
Kenney talks about his vacation. Doesn’t say where he was.

Says the government will hold a newser later this week. Says they are concerned about the Delta surge. #ableg

.@jkenney keeps asking NDP MLAs were ever on the Skypalace patio while they were in government.

There wasn't a pandemic when they were in government.

#ableg
@jkenney Kenney reads the rules allowing outdoor gatherings to 10 people.

He neglects to add the part about needing to socially distance. (which is in the rules).

🚨🚨A UCP MLA is speaking in favour of an amended proposed by two former UCP MLAs. Will anyone else follow? #ableg
Yes, Stephan may be the only UCP MLA who votes in favour of the Loewen and Barnes amendment.

But this is remarkable in a UCP caucus that is usually very uniform in its votes.

#ableg
Justice Minister Kaycee Madu thanks Loewen for his amendment but says government is following recommendations from an MLA committee #ableg
