Becca Polak, the spokesperson for Smith, responded in a statement: “As Premier Smith has stated multiple times, the government will respect the fixed election date of May 29, 2023.” Smith has promised to reorganize and decentralize Alberta Health Services, pursue a separate Alberta police force, introduce health spending accounts for every Albertan and replace the chief medical officer of health.
“When early election calls occur, the public is suspicious,” she added. “They think that there’s some advantage that the person is trying to gain.”
