Alberta Tory leadership hopeful Jim Prentice promises political term limits

Alberta Tory leadership hopeful Jim Prentice says he will introduce term limits on provincial politicians if he becomes premier.

Prentice says the restrictions would be three terms for members of the legislature and two terms for premier.

He says the changes would be grandfathered in and would be the first of their kind in Canada.

Prentice says he would also scrap automatic severance payments in government.
