“Congratulations to Brian Jean, the new leader of the Wildrose party and incoming Leader of the Official Opposition.
“I extend my best wishes to all three candidates, their families, and their volunteer teams for their work. Leadership campaigns require a lot of energy and effort, and I appreciate their commitments to making Alberta a better place.
“We will not always agree on issues in the weeks and months ahead. For today, let me congratulate Brian on having earned these new responsibilities, and for his ongoing commitment to public service.”
