Liepert swears during council meeting

An Airdrie alderman is calling for the resignation of Alberta's Finance Minister.

Allan Hunter says says when he was discussing contentious Bills 19, 24, 36 and 50, Ron Liepert began swearing and disrupted the dinner meeting.

"The question was actually directed at the Deputy Premier Doug Horner but Ron Liepert jumped in and started swearing and lost it and pretty much shut it down and embarrassed everybody," said Hunter.

Hunter has sent a letter to the premier, asking for an apology as well as Liepert's resignation.
