Well, it's a red carpet so...
The provincial infrastructure ministry said Friday in a statement that the previous carpet in the 6,500-square-foot legislature space was in poor condition, riddled with “stains, rips and tears” and more than 20 years old.
It said the province recently spent about $280,000 to purchase and install new red carpet. The cost also included abatement work and removal of the old one.
“The legislature is an important part of Alberta’s history, and renewal work ensures it remains in good condition to serve Albertans for generations to come,” the statement said.
Independent legislature member Scott Sinclair said this week that government spending is “out of control” and out of touch, considering Alberta is staring down a forecasted $5-billion deficit. Sinclair was kicked out of the United Conservative Party caucus earlier this year for threatening to vote against the budget.
