Did Trevor Tombe sign off on the panel recommendations? Were the recommendations the product of unanimity or did some panelists disagree?
The province receives recommendations from panels all the time, and premier & gov't take or leave ideas as they please.
But this is different.
This panel was *chaired* by Premier Danielle Smith.
