flag Alberta Finance Minister Nate Horner accepts Edmonton Oilers tickets under relaxed ethics rules.

flag Alberta Finance Minister Nate Horner accepts VIP tickets to Edmonton Oilers games, following the easing of ethics rules in Alberta that allow politicians more latitude to accept gifts. flag Horner's acceptance of the tickets is within the new rules, which cap non-monetary gifts at $500 and permit the Premier's chief of staff to approve gifts worth more than this amount. flag Critics argue that the recent changes to the Alberta Conflicts of Interest Act have gone too far in relaxing conflict-of-interest rules and should not allow political figures special privileges not available to the general public. flag Horner emphasizes the need for transparency and is open to adjustments in the rules to improve this.
