Is Alberta’s new Minister of Finance qualified?

Once again Adrian Dix is blowing off steam as usual, not doing any research on the topic.

Once again Adrian Dix is blowing off steam as usual, not doing any research on the topic. On May 25, 2015 in the legislature during question period, Dix was asking Energy Minister Bill Bennett why his political assistant was the successful candidate for the advertised job as Director for Policy with BC Hydro. Dix claims that this political assistant has no utility experience, no experience in energy policy, no crown corporation experience, no regulatory experience, and no policy analyst experience.

This is no different than the new NDP government in Alberta. Alberta’s new Minister of Finance is a former social worker.  What does a social worker know about debits, credits and financial statements especially when this new minister of finance cannot even fill out his own income tax return and pays someone else to fill out his tax return? Dix's comments are unsatisfactory for the $102,878 taxpayer funded salary he receives as an MLA. Unbelievable!
