Alberta legislative committee on pro-Canada petition adjourns after prematurely sent news releaseCBC NewsMichelle BellefontaineMay 20, 2026A legislative committee deciding what to do about a pro-Confederation petition descended into procedural chaos at Alberta's legislature on Wednesday after the governing UCP caucus sent out a news release that presumed the outcome of a vote that hadn’t yet happened.The news release issued by the UCP caucus said the committee had decided to recommend that the question on the Forever Canadian petition was going to a referendum on Oct. 19. The release quoted Brandon Lunty, UCP MLA and chair of the select special citizen initiative proposal review committee.However, a vote on the matter hadn’t yet happened in the committee room.Christina Gray, house leader for the NDP, spoke to the committee on Wednesday and moved a point of privilege, saying concerns about the matter should be heard by Speaker Ric McIver.She also argued that Lunty should recuse himself as committee chair since he was quoted in the news release. Assisted Living and Social Services Minister Jason Nixon, Technology and Innovation Minister Nate Glubish and Olds-Didsbury-Three Hills MLA Tara Sawyer are the three UCP members who form the majority on the committee. They voted against an NDP motion to send the matter to McIver. Lunty made no move to recuse himself. The meeting ended after NDP members refused to vote in favour of continuing past the meeting’s end time, leaving the vote on the Forever Canadian question in limbo. Lunty has scheduled the next meeting for Thursday at 2 p.m.(more)https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/alberta-mlas-meet-pro-canada-petition-9.7206136
