As Premier Alison Redford met behind closed doors with the Progressive Conservative party’s board of directors, another Tory MLA said Redford must make major changes to her leadership style to carry on.

Red Deer North MLA Mary Anne Jablonski said she is not calling for Redford to step down but said she and other MLAs and party members have major concerns about her leadership.

Issues around expenses, entitlements and how Redford deals with people are significant issues that the premier must address, she said.

“If she can change the way she treats others, then we have hope,” said Jablonski.

Jablonski said she resents how these issues have distracted from Alberta’s booming economy and high quality of life under the PC government.

Jablonski said she has not experienced Redford being a bully to staff and MLAs.

She said she had no intention of crossing the floor.

“Why should I have to leave my party, my principles?” said Jablonski, who noted that other members of caucus share her feelings.
