The trust itself may not be a game changer, but the optics of it are horrible. You have the governing party hiding assets despite the fact that
its own law mandates transparency. You have them using something the other parties cannot - which flies in the face of equal rights/privileges for all parties. And, almost certainly, the opposition parties are going to be hammering away on the question of how any Albertan could trust the PCs to properly manage the provincial budget when they can't even keep out of the red internally.
