A senior member of Premier Danielle Smith’s government is again skirting questions about how he’ll vote in the upcoming Alberta referendum on whether the province should remain in Canada.
Transportation Minister Devin Dreeshen was asked repeatedly Tuesday whether he’d vote for Alberta to stay or vote to hold a second referendum on quitting Canada.
He responded by saying that it’s an important topic and that Albertans should have their voices heard.
