Remember her? The MLA who got kicked out of the NDP for her social media posts. Turns out she is actually doing something.

I myself made fun of her and propped her up as an example of an unqualified politician who would make six figures for being a nobody backbencher. I'm quite surprised. Glad to eat my words on this one. Looks like a good bill. Notley originally tasked her with working on education dealing with domestic abuse then kicked her out two days later.Independent MLA Deborah Drever_is trying to accomplish the rare feat of passing a private member’s bill and in the process make_it easier for victims of domestic violence_to_flee abuse.
Drever’s Bill 204 would_amend the Residential Tenancies Act to_allow domestic violence victims to_break a lease early and without penalty. If a person_can demonstrate_they or their children are in danger, they can receive a signed certificate from a list of professionals — such as a judge, nurse, police officer or social worker — compelling the landlord to terminate the lease. The law would also effectively allow a victim to remove an abuser’s name from a lease.
