EDMONTON, AB (March 26, 2015): Alberta Liberal Leader David Swann is calling the government’s decision to close the Young Offender Centre in Calgary a bad move for the youth involved, their families, and both communities.

“Again, the government is being pennywise and pound-foolish by closing this centre, firing the staff, and shipping these kids out of their home community and down the road to Edmonton,” says Swann. “We should be working hard to rehabilitate these young people who are in trouble with the law, not ripping them out of the only support system they may have."

EDMONTON, AB (March 26, 2015): Alberta Liberal Leader David Swann has released the following statement on the unveiling of Budget 2015:

“Budget 2015 fails to reflect the true priorities and needs of a new generation of Albertans who are driving this province, and it leaves those who built it scrambling for spare change.
