It's time for a new government, says Kevin Taft



Red Deer - Alberta Liberal Leader Kevin Taft told Red Deer and Central

Albertan residents today that after 37 years of Tory rule, it's time for a

new government.



"On the 26th day of this election campaign, I'm here to talk about the need

for change - for the next Alberta," said Taft. "I'm here to talk about the

need for a government that listens to citizens, instead of tuning them out."



"It's time for a government that will listen to its people, that will put

money back into education and health care, that will spend wisely and save

wisely, that will protect our environment," said Taft. "After 37 years of

Tory rule, it's time for a change so we can get the job done right."



Taft says an Alberta Liberal government will support the upgrading of the

Red Deer Airport, protect the Red Deer River basin, boost affordable housing

and reduce homelessness, put more police officers on the street, and ensure

that government agencies are accountable, transparent and fair.



The Alberta Liberals will also provide Red Deer residents with better access

to their legislators by taking the Legislative Assembly on the road for two

weeks each year to a different community outside Edmonton.



"The people of Red Deer have been taken for granted for far too long - it's

time for this region to regain its voice in the provincial Legislature,"

said Taft. "You have a chance to shape the foundations of this province by

voting for a new government."



Taft notes that the Alberta Liberal platform has been getting solid reviews

all over the province. The Alberta Medical Association gave our health care

policies top marks out of all the other parties, and the Conservation Voters

of Alberta said our environment platform is the strongest.



"Nothing changes unless we change government," said Taft. "Albertans have a

chance to send a message, to change the future."



"It's time for the next Alberta - it's time for a new government."
