The mayor of Leduc refused to take questions on the lawsuit against the city's fire department on Thursday.
The press conference was held to announce a new interchange on the QEII in the Leduc area.
Premier Jason Kenney, Minister of Transportation Rajan Sawhney and Leduc Mayor Bob Young were just a few of the officials present at the event.
When the formal portion of the press conference was over, a reporter asked Mayor Young a question about the lawsuit.
“This just isn’t the venue to be discussing this, you’ll have to contact me at a later time, thank you,” Young said as he walked away from the podium.
“Respectfully, sir, I’ve asked your media people for an interview, and nine times out of 10 I get a statement, so I’m wondering if the amendment changes do anything to change how the city plans to respond?” the reporter replied.
At that point, there was a brief silence, and the moderator ended the event.
