Jim Prentice made a statement on his Facebook page saying…

Alison Redford did the right and honourable thing today by resigning as a Member of the Legislative Assembly.

I would like to extend my best wishes to Ms. Redford and her family in their future endeavours.

Now is the time to move forward. Alberta has a bright future and an immeasurable amount of potential. We must remain focused on the opportunity that lies ahead, and we must have leadership to ensure the promise of Alberta is preserved for future generations.
