EDMONTON — Alberta’s NDP says Opposition Leader Jason Kenney needs to explain what regulations and labour rules he would cut if he were to win power.

Environment Minister Shannon Phillips says any cuts — and Kenney’s promise that he would push them through within weeks of a spring election victory — would unduly punish workers while threatening public health and safety.

“The mask has slipped with respect to what Jason Kenney wants to do to the people of this province,” Phillips, speaking for Premier Rachel Notley’s government, said Monday on a conference call.

“It is good that Jason Kenney is finally being honest, or beginning to be honest, with Albertans about what his plans are.

“He is not interested in any kind of consultation around what his plans might be, not interested in what people think.”

The United Conservatives are still consulting on the party’s policy platform ahead of the election, but Kenney dropped some hints in a speech last week to the Calgary Chamber of Commerce.
