Alberta Premier Danielle Smith defends a nearly 23 per cent increase to her office budget.

Smith says it's coming at the expense of the energy ministry as her office assumes some formal and financial responsibility for promoting the province’s oil and gas industry.

Smith said the roughly $4.8-million increase will complete the process of folding the controversial Canadian Energy Centre into government.

The centre was created in 2019 by former United Conservative premier Jason Kenney and given an initial $30-million budget.
