A Physician by trade, Oberg was first elected to the Legislative Assembly Of Alberta as an Progressive Conservative in 1993 . He was first appointed to the Alberta Cabinet in 1997 and served numerous posts. During his term as an Executive Councillor , he was styled "the Honourable". On March 22 , 2006 , Oberg was removed from the Progressive Conservative Caucus and stripped from his ministerial position after making comments at a Strathmore-Brooks Constituency Association Annual General Meeting urging the membership not to support Alberta Premier Ralph Klein in a crucial leadership vote at the March 2006 AGM of the party. Oberg had been considering running for the leadership of the Progressive Consevative Party, and was considering resigning his ministerial portfolio in June 2006 as per Premier Klein's directive regarding leadership candidates. However, Oberg's expulsion from cabinet and caucus is expected to have a negative effect on any leadership campaign he may now choose to mount. EXTERNAL LINKS
