Notley went back and forth with reporters on the issue in Calgary. (Opposition politicians and business industry groups say the hike is too much too quickly. They say Alberta is already losing tens of thousands of jobs due to the prolonged slump in oil prices, and that the NDP has just made a bad situation much worse.)
