Lesser Slave Lake MLA Pat Rehn has been invited back into Alberta's United Conservative Party caucus five months after he was kicked out for being absent from his constituency. Neudorf said the UCP received letters from several municipalities and the Lesser Slave Lake Constituency Association, requesting Rehn be allowed to rejoin caucus. Rehn's expense claims for the first part of 2020 showed he spent more time in Edmonton than in Lesser Slave Lake. In the press release Wednesday, Rehn said he was humbled to be given a second chance in Lesser Slave Lake. It was clear that I was not living up to expectations in representing Lesser Slave Lake, and for that I am sorry."
