27th Alberta Legislature
No Meet Committee
No Meet Committee
-----------------

In March 2012 it came to light that the "Select Standing Committee on Privileges and Elections, Standing Orders and Printing", a committee of the Legislative Assembly had not sat for over three years, despite each member of the committee receiving a $1,000 stipend. The committee was chaired by [Ray Prins](/wiki/Ray_Prins "Ray Prins"), a backbench Progressive Conservative MLA for [Lacombe\-Ponoka](/wiki/Lacombe-Ponoka "Lacombe-Ponoka") who received an additional $38,000 per year for the appointment. The committee's 21 members included individuals from all political parities in the Assembly. In response, Premier Alison Redford instituted a freeze on committee pay and announced members would have to return six months of pay. After public criticism continued, Redford ordered all Progressive Conservative MLAs to pay back all pay received since the committee last met.
