The Wildrose Shadow Minister for Economic Development and Trade has a simple solution for Alberta Premier Rachel Notley when it comes to an on-going feud with Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall.

Visiting Regina Thursday, Prasad Panda met with government members and said if Notley wants to prevent companies from leaving Alberta, she needs to treat them better.

“We have to make sure that we create a good business environment for long-term sustainability and confidence,” Panda said.

Thursday, Notley suggested Wall broke trade rules, under the New West Partnership, by sending letters to Alberta companies inviting them to move to Saskatchewan.

Wall argued the letters only highlight the existing benefits of operating a business his province. He said there were no promises of further incentives, so no rules were broken.
