As two rookie Edmonton MLA openly muse about defecting from the Progressive Conservative caucus, Premier Alison Redford’s house leader suggested Tuesday neither would be turfed and insisted the party turmoil isn’t a distraction.
Matt Jeneroux and Steve Young, both first-term MLAs who are among a disgruntled group of Tory backbenchers, are considering leaving caucus over concerns with Premier Alison Redford’s leadership and expense scandals.
Despite their public comments, government house leader Robin Campbell said there are no distractions in caucus and MLAs have their own opinions.

“I don’t think people should be disciplined for their thoughts or expressing them,” McCormick said
