Today on the Alberta Roundup with Rachel Parker, Rachel hosts a panel with two prominent Conservatives who say Premier Danielle Smith is not living up to her mandate.

Marty Belanger and Tariq Elnaga supported Smith during the United Conservative Party leadership race, but now say she is taking too long to move forward key policies she supported during the race, like low taxes and an Alberta Provincial Police force.

The panel also discuss whether the high immigration Smith supports is something the province wants or can support. Finally, the group discusses what Smith must do to maintain support ahead of the question on her leadership at the UCP AGM this fall.
