Alberta’s opposition parties are voicing frustration after the NDP tabled complex pieces of legislation near the end of the legislature’s fall sitting.

“They had no legislation that was ready to go of any significance and have piled it all down into the later days of the session,” said Opposition house leader Jason Nixon.

He said the United Conservative Party (UCP) has concerns with legislation including the 147-page Bill 30, which overhauls Alberta’s occupational health and safety as well as workers’ compensation systems. The NDP introduced the bill Nov. 27.

“There are parts of the bill that we support, there are other parts of the bill (where) we have significant concerns,” Nixon said. “The stakeholders that I’m talking to … have said there has not been enough consultation.”

The fall sitting launched Oct. 30 and is slated to end Thursday. It included a constituency week when the legislative assembly was adjourned.
