There will be a short first session of the Alberta Legislature Thursday, as politicians pick a new Legislative Speaker.
It’s a secret ballot, but the majority NDP caucus has said it will endorse Medicine Hat MLA Bob Wanner.
Outgoing speaker Gene Zwozdesky has called it a ‘lonely job,’ because as the ‘referee’ he had to remain impartial.
The meeting will convene at 1:30 p.m.
