		Lyle Oberg: When I take a look at the education system, when I sit back and objectively take a look at it, what I see is a very good education system.
		Lyle Oberg: One of the problems and what the Alberta Children's Initiative was brought forward to identify is that there was a lot of overlap and duplication in the system.
		Lyle Oberg: The one thing that I will add is I think that the collaboration that we have achieved to this date has been extremely positive.

	CIVITATENSIS » Blog Archive » Lyle Oberg Ousted
		The earlier public release was that Premier Klein forgave Lyle Oberg for his intemperate comments.

		Oberg’s fault-finding with Dunn’s audit centred around a lack of medical opinion in the report.
		What Oberg seems to have missed in the report, and in fact repeated in a Frequently Asked Questions document circulated to MLAs and the media, was the information that each audit team consisted of an auditor and a registered nurse.
		While Premier Ralph Klein quickly distanced himself from Oberg’s comments and backed Dunn’s report, this still doesn’t restore our confidence in the democratic process of debate which is being undermined by Kowalski’s inability to distance himself from the Tories.

		Oberg, a Premier-in-Waiting if he may say so, decided that blasting Ralph was a good way to launch a campaign (for the Alberta Alliance I assume).
		Lyle got shut down harder and faster than an ugly kid at a high school dance.
		In fact, the Lyle Oberg dumping was so dramatic I think it will soon form a part of our vernacular.

		On Friday one of Klein's would-be successors, former transportation minister Lyle Oberg pleaded with the party to consider the toll a prolonged leadership race could have on a government trying to deal with the perks and problems that come with the billions in energy revenues rolling into the provincial treasury.
		Oberg was kicked out of caucus late Thursday night after he lashed out at Klein over the leadership process.
		Oberg had also warned that as a backbencher, he might cause trouble for Klein because he "knows where the skeletons are."

	PlanetOut News: ALTA Moving to Co-Adoptions
		Oberg announced that the Alberta government is ready to drop its defense against this lawsuit, but a right-wing group is seeking standing to take over the defense at government expense.
		Oberg's first move in the wake of the caucus meeting had been to loosen the ban on gays and lesbians providing foster care, but he insisted on instituting a special written justification for his personal review for each such placement.
		Oberg's latest announcement indicated that the only limitations on co-adoptions would be that they would not apply to children who are wards of the state, and that they can be rejected by a child over 12 or by a child's guardian.

	PlanetOut News: Review for Gay Alta. Fosterers
		Oberg also said that inquiry as to sexual orientation will become a routine part of assessing new applicants seeking to serve as foster parents.
		However, Oberg does not seem to feel the same need to personally intervene for the sake of consistency and accountability except with respect to placements with gays and lesbians.
		Oberg's own history regarding Alberta's previous ban on gay and lesbian foster placements is something less than a model of consistency and accountability.

	daveberta.: oberg gets da boot...
		With this latest hissy fit, Dr. Lyle proves that he is too thin-skinned, too quick to hold grudges and, face it, just way too damn immature to be trusted with the mantle of leadership, even if you liked his politics, whch mostly seemed better suited to Liberal pork barrel politics.
		Oberg will have as an Independent MLA will be the people he'll discover that were only hanging around him because of his perceived power.
		Lyle Oberg almost broke away fron this tyrany, but chickened out at the last minute and missed his opportunity to set everyone straight on the way we definitely must not destroy the public system and become the backward nonsocial animal that does not care about its poorer citizens south of us.

		Oberg, himself a doctor by training, opened his campaign office in Edmonton on Wednesday with proposals for health-care reform that in many ways echo the Third Way plan advocated by the man he is trying to replace - Premier Ralph Klein.
		Oberg couldn't explain how that would conform to the Canada Health Act, which gives all doctors the right to completely opt out of the public system and bill all their patients privately.
		Oberg said he wouldn't reveal the names of his supporters until the fall and took a veiled shot at Dinning for doing so.

		Oberg began his speech 10 minutes late with a slide presentation on government funding of education, tuition costs, grants, and other significant financial information.
		The purpose of the slides, Oberg stated, “[was] to set the records straight… a little bit.” By defining and quantifying the major figures under debate, Oberg hoped to establish some facts before elaborating on his upcoming plans.
		Oberg also addressed other matters of relevance to students, but was sketchy in describing what kind of remedial measures, if any, would be taken.

		The Post coverage quoted Alberta Learning Minister Lyle Oberg saying Thursday was a sad day, and that he took no pleasure in the decision -- so the tone, at least, is quite different from what we've seen in Ontario over the past four years.
		For her part, Pollock said the dismissal was Oberg's way of silencing the Tory government's biggest critics of underfunded education.
		Tilston said Oberg is trying to silence the board most critical of his government, and his decision raises questions about his party's commitment to elected boards.

		Oberg suggested there was a natural fit between Albertans and the people of Israel.

		In announcing the province’s contribution at a meeting of JNF business leaders in Edmonton, Alberta Minister of Infrastructure and Transportation Lyle Oberg and Environment Minister Guy Boutilier heralded the deal as an important step in exchanging technology and other expertise between Alberta and Israel.
		Oberg, who represents a riding in southern Alberta that has many of the same climatic conditions as Israel’s Negev region, said there has been a drastic reduction in the flow of the Bow River in Alberta, and Israeli research and innovation can help with the irrigation problems affecting farmers and ranchers in the area.
		He said he plans to take Oberg, Boutilier, and representatives from their departments and the University of Lethbridge to Israel this fall for a first-hand visit to irrigation and de- salinization projects.

		Lyle Oberg obviously hit a nerve with his fellow caucus members when he told local supporters to vote with their conscience in this weekend’s review of Ralph Klein’s leadership.
		Lyle Oberg has served the people of Alberta and this constituency well in his 13 years as a government minister and to think that a long-serving minister of the government of Alberta would intentionally threaten his peers is ridiculous.
		We can see where Oberg would be a bit loose with his comments being that he was in front of a comfortable crowd of supporters in the constituency but the comment about skeletons in the closet should have been reported in the context it was offered–with a smile on his face.
