Insurance freeze to top Alberta fall sitting agenda
Alberta's fall legislature session centers on a auto insurance premium freeze with no new bills addressing high electricity costs or classroom overcrowding. Opposition leaders say the Tories ignore key issues, while Liberal Ken Nicol notes the lack of action on education and deregulation. NDP leaders urge an emergency debate on overcrowded classrooms as the session opens. Tory David Hancock defends the insurance focus and notes a pending bill to create a non age or sex based auto insurance system, though it dodges details on program mechanics or minor injury caps.
