Alberta Premier Danielle Smith defends how her government consults on major policy decisions.

Smith made the remarks in a year-end interview held in early December at the legislature.

Postmedia obtained the results of the province’s survey on restoring political parties to municipal elections.

Smith: “We have to do more consultation on the Alberta pension plan because what we heard from people is, I don't have enough information to make a decision’.
