The group of politicians signed a letter protesting the step back in restrictions.
“We believe that yesterday’s (April 6) announcement to move our province backwards, effectively abandoning the plan that Albertans have worked diligently over the past month is the wrong decision,” states the letter.
“We have heard from our constituents, and they want us to defend their livelihoods and freedoms as Albertans. For months we have raised these concerns at the highest level of governments, and unfortunately, the approach of the government has remained the same.”
“We just wanted to make our feelings heard, and show our constituents we are hearing their concerns,” Horner tells the Mail.
