阿尔伯塔省财政部长纳特·霍纳接受了埃德蒙顿油工队比赛的贵宾门票,这是由于阿尔伯塔省放宽了道德规则,允许政客们更自由地接受礼物. 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. 霍纳接受机票属于新规则的范围,新规则规定非货币礼品的最高限额为500美元,并允许总理办公厅主任批准价值超过这一数额的礼品。 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. 批评者认为,最近对《艾伯塔省利益冲突法》的修改在放松利益冲突规则方面走得太远,不应允许公众不能享有的政治人物特殊特权。 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. Horner强调透明度的必要性,并愿意调整规则来改进这一点。 Horner emphasizes the need for transparency and is open to adjustments in the rules to improve this.
