(Edmonton, AB) March 7, 2025 – Today the UCP caucus voted to remove Lesser Slave Lake MLA Scott Sinclair from the UCP Caucus.
Budget votes are confidence votes. The failure of a budget to pass results in an immediate election. All government MLAs are expected to vote in favour of a tabled budget.
MLA Sinclair has made it clear, both in his social media posts and in his conversations with colleagues, that he intends to vote against the budget. As an elected MLA he has that right, but may not do so as a member of the government caucus.
We have informed the Speaker of the Assembly of this decision which is effective immediately.
