November XXIVth, MMXVI

Hon. Dave Eggen, B. Ed., MLA
Minister of Education,
New Democratic, Edmonton-Calder

Dear Dave:

While I am very glad that Executive Security Services has put a security detail in place for Sandra Jansen, MLA, New Democratic, Calgary-North West; I cannot help but feel sad at the same time that the threats she has received have forced it to come to this. I would argue further that all cabinet ministers as well as the Leader of Her Majesty's Loyal Official Opposition Brian Jean, MLA, Wildrose, Fort McMurray-Conklin should get 24/7 protection when session is on. Including during constituency weeks. In this way, from a security standpoint you ensure continuity in governance that is continuous should an "Acting Premier" have to take over in the event that the Premier or Deputy Premier were unable to fulfill the duties of the job for a time frame, thus necessitating an emergency transfer of power. This would clearly help Alberta Sheriffs & RCMP & Legislature Assembly. as well as Sgt.-At-Arms Brian Hodgson know who to provide the protection services to next.

Security,

Rory
