The government says the previous carpet in the legislature space was more than 20 years old and riddled with rips and stains.

It says it recently spent about $280,000 to replace the rug, because the legislature is an important part of Alberta ’s history.

Independent legislature member Scott Sinclair , a former United Conservative Party backbencher, called on the government to stop spending on wants rather than needs, while it stares down a $5 billion deficit.
