EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Jim Prentice says any merger with the Opposition Wildrose caucus would ultimately be decided by his Progressive Conservative caucus.
Beyond that, the premier says he won't comment on reports that members of the Wildrose are seeking to join his government.
Sources have told The Canadian Press that Wildrose leader Danielle Smith will poll her team today on whether to join Prentice.
Sun Media says it has a document outlining the conditions of such a merger.
The news outlet says the document states that since Prentice has adopted many Wildrose fiscal accountability measures, it now makes sense for the two right-centre parties to join.
It also reportedly outlines promises that Wildrose legislature members will be able to keep their seats and run as PC candidates in the next election.
Smith and Wildrose house leader Rob Anderson have not commented publicly on the issue of a possible merger.
Prentice says the PC caucus meets Wednesday.
