Alberta's government is restricting how much information the public can access on the expense account of a politician. As Taylor Lambert explains, they're no longer going to release receipts. The Alberta government has changed its policy for expense disclosures. Under the previous rules from 2020, senior officials such as ministers and police, political staff were required to publicly disclose receipts over $100 that they claimed as government business. Those receipts will no longer be released. The government also removed eight years of

expense reports from its website. The province says the new rules are comparable to other provinces. James Turk, executive director of the Center for Free Expression, says that's not the point. I mean, making data less available to the public is harmful to the public. The fact that other provinces do it as well. It's not a good argument for doing it. A spokesperson for finance minister Nate Horner said in a statement that the changes were made to, quote, improve government operations and reduce red tape. Taylor Lambert, CBC News, Edmonton.
