Former Alberta premier Alison Redford returns to legislature as backbencher
EDMONTON – Former Alberta premier Alison Redford has returned to the legislature for the first time since she quit more than a month ago.
Redford is now a government backbencher representing the riding of Calgary-Elbow.
She has not been in the house since she stepped down March 23, but says she has been working in her constituency.
She did not answer questions on stories that have made headlines since her resignation, including a plan to have taxpayers build her a lavish penthouse suite on top of a government building.
Redford says those issues have been addressed by others in government and she has nothing to add.
She says her time away included a much-needed family vacation in Palm Springs.
