The Liberal government proposes a bill to let more MPs qualify for pensions and health benefits.

All MPs elected in 1993 could take severance if they leave.

Province keeps Medicine Hat Math 30 marks after review
About 70 Medicine Hat high school students received revised marks for the January 2000 Math 30 exam after six questions were found on field tests and review sheets. Pro rating lowered scores by one to five percent with most losses at two to three percent. The province insists the method was fair and notes distinctions between provincial and local results. Superintendent Dave Beresh filed a complaint with the Alberta Teachers Association, whose investigation continues. Minister Lyle Oberg remains the final appeal option for affected students.
