Notley said she’s going to be speaking to the senate committee tomorrow to make the case against Bill C-69 and Bill C-48.

“Bill C-48 attacks the Alberta economy and needs to go,” Notley said. “I will be making that case forcefully.”

When asked about a recent poll that showed calling for a landslide UCP win on April 16, Notley said she’s “blown away” from the support she’s seeing from Albertans in places like Grande Prairie, Fairview and Slave Lake.

“I’ll tell you something, on the ground it feels really good. People are excited,” said Notley.

Later tonight, Notley will head to Calgary for a 6 p.m. event at the c SPACE building, 1721 29 Ave. SW.
