“We need to take a step back and say ‘What are the processes? Were they followed? And do we need to enhance them?”’ Savage said this week. “We’re committed to taking the step to enhancing all of those processes.”But Marlin Schmidt, the Alberta New Democrat’s environment critic, is skeptical.

“There’s no investigation into what process led to the failure, nor any commitment to improving,” he said. “We’re just shrugging our shoulders and hoping next time things work out better.” “Given the kind of politics in this province, we could have seen that coming,” he said. “We should have known that these folks aren’t talking very well together, so you might want to rethink these arrangements that depend on them talking together.”
