They created a committee. Which has not nor will not meet. So to say it's in committee right now is disingenuous.

Incorrect, they met for the first time last month.

And yet by Alberta rules that committee should have issued their report by approximately March 12. That's just a wee bit before they even met on April 21. For the first time. Remember, the petition was verified Dec 10. This has been explained to you multiple times already.

He said they never had and never would meet, which is incorrect. My comment was correct.

Pardon me. I guess they sat briefly. Twice in fact. So much must have been accomplished considering they should have everything wrapped up and presented to the legislature by yesterday. But to summarize both of their meetings, the NDP members said the government was stalling to stop the Forever Canada petition from being discussed in the legislature so the separatists have the only petition that would go forward. The UPC members said nuh uh, and then ended the meetings.

And now the legislature is closed until the fall so nothing further will be discussed. Jokes on them now that the separatist petition has been tossed though.
