Update: Finally, a simple clear answer on the question of school bus breakdowns.
Listening to all officials speak about school bus breakdowns... I'm not sure why it's so difficult to answer the damn question.
If a bus full of children breaks down on the side of the road, is there a plan to go get those kids? If the answer is "no," that's the wrong answer.

Shame on Danielle Smith. 🧵
Remember: the only reason she needs the notwithstanding clause is because her pronoun law violates the Charter rights of trans students. In other words, they are illegal without her using this loophole.

Whoa whoa whoa... Savoie starts off Question Period with a drive-by smear of the Premier. He said with no evidence that she's using gov't $ to promote one of her own businesses. Holt replied she had 0% ownership in said company. Savoie had nothing to the contrary. 🤦
