EDMONTON—The first question period at the Alberta legislature under a new government got dirty in a hurry Thursday as Premier Jason Kenney and Opposition Leader Rachel Notley swapped accusations of criminal behaviour, sexual misconduct and harbouring rule-breakers. Notley demanded to know why Kenney was allowing Calgary legislature member Peter Singh to sit in the United Conservative caucus. “Why have you not taken action and ejected this member from your caucus?” Notley asked Kenney. Investigations by Mounties and elections officials into the 2017 UCP leadership campaign dogged Kenney during the campaign. “Has the premier himself ever been contacted by the RCMP about this matter?” Notley asked Kenney.
