Alberta Deputy Premier Mike Ellis testified before a parliamentary committee on Monday that there is a “disconnect’ between the province’s lack of agency on the ground in Jasper and the financial burden it now faces, he says.

Ellis said Alberta 's crack firefighters had asked for some decision-making authority such where to use equipment and how before the fire consumed one-third of the structures in the town.

The feds contend Alberta should pick up the clean-up and rebuild bills.
