I think all of our ministers are relatively inexperienced. I'm relatively inexperienced. We're a six-month-old government.

The climate change plan set out a few days ago by federal NDP leader Tom Mulcair will get us there, which is why I strongly support it.

We have endorsements of our plan from key leaders within the environmental movement. That doesn't mean that it includes the whole environmental movement.

I think Albertans are progressive and forward-looking and are very optimistic, and I think they've always embraced change. Now with the economy being the way it is, I think we need to acknowledge people are a bit nervous too.

I'm not going to bargain in the media because I don't think that's appropriate.

What's really important to remember is that this type of legislation exists in one form or another in every other province in the country. The right to refuse unsafe work is a right that is enjoyed by every other farm worker, paid farm worker, in the country and every other paid worker in Alberta.

Albertans were looking for change. And so I think that we're staying true to our principles by working to deliver on that change. And I think that is what people were looking for

Political debate is political debate and that's fine. That's healthy.
