Alberta's only non-Conservative member of Parliament says she's disappointed some of the province's Tory MPs haven't been participating in virtual House of Commons special COVID-19 committee meetings. NDP MP Heather McPherson, who represents Edmonton Strathcona, has attended all the online meetings and said she doesn't understand why other Alberta politicians aren't participating. "It feels to me like Alberta MPs, more than any MPs in the rest of the country, need to be fighting for Albertans. He added that there's only so many questions that can be asked by MPs at the special COVID-19 committee meetings. McPherson said she's particularly surprised that some of her fellow Alberta MPs didn't attend at all, as people across the province are going through a difficult time.
