She reiterated that her caucus was hoping to get input on what changes to make to the provincial recall legislation.

“This is very much on our minds because it is a distraction and we’re doing some amazing things,” she said. “I think that’s part of the reason why the unions are trying to stop us, they don’t want us to have another two more years.”
