| Description | Nine Wildrose MLAs, including leader Danielle Smith, have crossed to Alberta’s governing Progressive Conservative party in a move political observers are calling unprecedented.
Premier Jim Prentice made the announcement late Wednesday afternoon after a day-long meeting, where PC MLAs voted in favour of bringing the new members into caucus.
"This is not a merger of parties, let’s be clear about this," he said in a joint news conference with Smith. "This is a unification of conservatives as Progressive Conservatives."
Those crossing the floor are:
Danielle Smith (Highwood).
Rob Anderson (Airdrie).
Gary Bikman.(Cardston-Taber-Warner)
Rod Fox. (Lacombe-Ponoka)
Jason Hale.(Strathmore-Brooks)
Bruce McAllister.(Chestermere-Rocky View)
Blake Pedersen. (Medicine Hat)
Bruce Rowe.(Olds-Didsbury-Three Hills)
Jeff Wilson.(Calgary-Shaw). |
