Whereas
it
is
our
will
and
pleasure
by
and
with
the
advice
and
consent
of
our
executive
Council
of
our
province
of
Alberta
to
prorogue
the
third
session
of
the
30th
legislature
of
Alberta.
We
do
hereby
perogue
effective,
October,
30th,
2022,
the
said
legislature
and
whereas
it
is
deemed
expedient
for
certain
causes
and
considerations
to
convene
the
legislative
assembly
of
our
province
of
Alberta
for
the
fourth
session
of
the
30th
legislature.

E
E
Members,
while
we
await
the
arrival
of
her
honor,
the
RCA
band
will
now
play
a
brief
musical
interlude.
The
RCA
band,
Canada's
oldest
regular
army
band,
was
formed
in
Quebec
City
in
1879.
It
was
subsequently
stationed
in
Montreal
and
Halifax.
It
has
been
in
service
in
both
world
wars
and
in
Korea
and
has
traveled
across
Canada
and
beyond
our
borders
reconstituted
in
Edmonton
in
1997.
The
ban
today
is
under
the
direction
of
Captain
Curtis
Bain.
A

A

Good
afternoon,
everyone
before
I
deliver
the
speech
from
the
throne.
I
would
like
to
thank
all
elected
official
members
of
the
assembly
for
serving
our
Province.
Thank
you
for
what
you
do,
and
you
know
that
you
are
a
very
important
part
of
our
precious
system
of
government
and
the
decisions
you
make
and
what
you
do
in
the
assembly
in
the
chambers
makes
a
difference
to
the
lives
of
all
albertans.
G
So
I
want
to
wish
you
all
a
very
successful
productive
session
and
I
hope
that
when
you
go
back
to
your
constituencies,
you
will
thank
all
the
community
leaders
in
your
respective
constituencies
for
what
they
do
to
keep
our
communities
and
Province
moving
forward
forward
now
before
I
end.
I
also
want
to
welcome
our
new
Chief
Justice
of
Alberta
The
Honorable
retail
cooler,
congratulations,
Madam,
chief
justice.
G
Mr
Speaker
honorable
members
of
the
legislative
assembly
and
fellow
albertans
I
opened
this
fourth
session
of
the
30th
legislature.
As
his
majesty,
the
Kings
representative
I
would
like
to
begin
by
acknowledging
the
passing
of
her
majesty
Queen
Elizabeth
II,
Alberta's
and
Canada's
longest
serving
monarch.
G
G
G
G
G
G
G
G
Under
this
legislation,
households
earning
under
187
108
180
thousand
dollars
will
be
provided
with
a
tax-free
payment
of
six
hundred
dollars
over
six
months,
starting
this
January
for
each
senior
to
parents
for
each
dependent
child
under
18.
and
to
each
vulnerable
albertan,
collecting
age,
PDD
and
income
support.
G
The
government
will
also
index
for
inflation,
age,
PDD,
income
support
the
Alberta
seniors
benefit
and
the
Alberta
child
and
family
benefit,
while
providing
additional
support
for
food
banks
and
expanding
access
to
low-income
Transit
passes,
protecting
and
supporting
the
most
vulnerable.
Among
Us
has
and
always
will
be
the
Alberta
way,
and
this
government
is
committed
to
ensuring
that
its
support
for
those
in
the
most
need
continues
to
be
among
the
most
generous
in
all
of
Canada.
G
The
government
will
provide
immediate
relief
at
the
gas
pumps
by
suspending
the
entire
provincial
fuel
tax
for
at
least
six
months,
and
by
making
the
current
fuel
relief
program
permanent
thereafter,
as
temperatures
drop
and
days
shorten
our
burdens
pay
more
for
electricity
and
Heating.
This
government
will
provide
increased
rebates
on
consumer
electricity
bills
through
the
winter
months.
Totaling
an
additional
two
hundred
dollars
per
household.
G
G
G
G
G
Thankfully,
our
doctors,
nurses,
paramedics
and
all
Frontline
Healthcare
professionals
are
the
best
in
the
world
and
our
heroes
in
our
midst,
and
they
are
literally
the
key
to
fixing
Health
Care.
We
need
many
more
of
these
great
albertans
on
the
front
lines
caring
for
patients
to
our
Frontline
professionals.
G
G
G
The
government
will
also
bring
additional
health
professionals
into
our
emergency
rooms
to
assist
with
treatment
and
triage
so
that
those
who
need
a
simple
prescription
or
Alternative
Care
get
the
assistance
they
need
without
taking
a
hospital
bed
away
from
those
who
truly
need
one
and
critically,
the
government
will
continue
to
lead
with
our
world
renowned
treatment.
First
approach
for
albertans
with
mental
health
and
addictions
challenges,
while
expanding
mental
health
supports
for
Youth
and
children.
G
G
We
know
Alberta's
greatest
asset
is
its
people.
This
government
is
committed
to
nurturing
the
best
education
and
training
programs
in
the
world
training.
The
next
generation
will
meet
the
needs
of
both
traditional
and
emerging
Industries
to
attract
the
best
and
brightest
from
across
the
nation
and
around
the
world
to
our
province.
G
The
government
must
also
support
the
economic
sectors
that
have
brought
so
much
continued
wealth
and
prosperity
to
our
great
province,
Alberta's,
foundational
industries
of
Agriculture
and
energy
produce.
What
the
world
needs
most
food
and
clean
Dependable
energy
as
our
burdens,
we
will
never
be
ashamed
of
feeding
and
powering
the
world.
G
It
will
maintain
and
greatly
expand
exportation
of
our
natural
resources
to
World
Markets,
and
it
will
contribute
to
lowering
emissions
by
investing
in
alberta-based
environmental
technology
like
carbon
capture
and
hydrogen,
while
replacing
the
world's
Reliance
on
coal
and
wood
with
clean
and
ethical
Alberta.
Lng.
G
G
G
G
G
G
G
This
legislation
will
never
be
used
to
undermine
the
rule
of
law
or
Unity
of
our
nation.
Just
the
opposite.
It
will
be
used
to
uphold
and
restore
the
intent
of
the
most
foundational
document
of
our
law.
The
Canadian
Constitution
and
Charter
of
Rights
Alberta's
voices
will
be
heard,
albertans
rights
will
be
respected
and
the
Alberta
Government
invites
every
one
of
its
fellow
provinces
to
work
with
the
government
in
ensuring
that
same
respect
is
demonstrated
to
every
single
province
in
our
nation's
capital
on
a
go
forward
basis.
G
G
Honorable
members
of
this
legislature,
whatever
your
party
affiliation,
the
government
asks
that
you
work
together
to
overcome
the
challenges
facing
this
province,
for
we
are
all
albertans
and
we
love
this
province.
Deeply.
Our
magnificent
cities,
our
breathtaking
mountainscapes,
our
boundless
fields
of
grain
and
natural
resources
and,
of
course,
our
greatest
Treasure
of
all
the
indomitable
and
compassionate
Spirit
of
our
people.
E
F
E
Honorable
members
I'd
like
to
provide
some
brief
remarks
about
two
very
important
anniversaries
in
the
history
of
the
legislative
assembly
of
Alberta.
This
year
marks
the
50th
anniversary
of
both
the
television
broadcast
of
the
assembly
proceedings
as
well
as
Alberta
hansert
on
March,
2nd
1972.
Something
special
happened
here
at
the
assembly.
E
It
was
opening
day
of
the
17th
legislature
and
it
was
the
first
time
that
the
assembly
proceedings
were
broadcast
live
on
television
I
can
only
imagine
the
anticipation
of
albertans
from
corner
to
corner
in
the
throne
speech
that
day,
the
government
announced
as
part
of
their
open
government
program.
The
regular
proceedings
of
the
assembly
would
be
televised.
E
A
week
later,
on
March
9th
the
assembly
adopted
a
resolution
supported
by
all
parties
note
to
members
to
allow
for
the
broadcast
of
proceedings
by
various
media,
including
television
after
preparations
were
made
by
March
15
1972.
Regular
broadcasts
of
the
assembly
proceedings
began
in
those
early
days
only
Friday
question
period.
Yes,
you
heard
that
right,
Friday
question
period
was
broadcast
and
a
summary
of
the
prior
week's
proceedings
on
the
following
Sunday
was
televised
by
1978.
However,
CTV
broadcast
gavel
to
gavel
coverage
of
the
proceedings.
E
This
would
later
be
reduced,
sadly
to
only
oral
question
period
and
certain
items
of
the
daily
routine
until
the
Advent
of
Alberta
assembly
TV,
which
broadcasts
proceedings
from
gavel
to
gavel
once
more
significantly.
Alberta
was
the
very
first
jurisdiction
in
Canada
to
have
its
proceedings
broadcast
on
a
permanent
basis.
E
1972
was
also
a
very
important
year
because
on
March
8
1972,
a
motion
was
moved
and
passed
with
the
support
of
the
entire
house
to
publish
a
complete
record
of
assembly
proceedings.
Retroactive
to
March,
2nd
and
Alberta
hanser
was
born
by
1974
Hansard
staff
produced
the
hansert
blues,
which
were
the
unofficial
transcript
of
the
assembly
that
are
made
available
to
all
of
us.
E
E
To
conclude,
I
will
leave
you
with
this
thought
and
I
encourage,
as
we
start
a
new
session
of
the
assembly
for
members
to
choose
their
words
wisely,
as
it
is
estimated
that
since
Alberta
Hans
cert
formed
over
50
years
ago
that
approximately
153.7
million
words
are
part
of
the
permanent
record
of
Alberta
history
and
Alberta.
Hansard.
I
hope
that
you
will
choose
your
words
wisely
and
let's
look
to
see
what
the
next
50
years
has
in
store
for
the
Alberta
assembly.
E
H
Mr
Speaker
I'm
delighted
to
rise
to
add
a
few
more
words
to
the
millions
that
have
already
been
put
on
the
record.
Thank
you
for
that
wonderful
history.
It
is
also
my
honor
today
to
rise
and
introduce
the
Alberta
sovereignty
within
a
United
Canada
Act
Mr
Speaker.
This
legislation
is
designed
to
be
a
constitutional
shield
to
protect
albertans
from
unconstitutional
federal
laws
and
policies
that
harm
our
province's
economy
or
violate
Alberta's
provincial
rights.
E
Members
The
Honorable,
the
premier,
has
moved
and
asked
to
request
leave
to
introduce
Bill
one,
the
Alberta
sovereignty
within
a
United
Canada
Act.
Although
those
in
favor
of
the
motion,
please
say
aye
any
opposed,
please
say
no,
in
my
opinion,
the
eyes
have
it
that
motion
is
carried
and
so
ordered.
E
And
it
a
division
has
been
called
I'll.
Tell
you
what
we'll
do?
Honorable
members,
a
division
has
been
called,
which
is,
of
course
the
right
of
members
of
the
assembly.
However
unconstant
unconventional
during
a
throne
speech,
a
Division
Bell
will
be
rung
for
the
benefit
of
those
seated
and
joining
us
in
the
galleries
sounds
a
lot
like
a
fire
alarm.
However,
there
is
no
fire,
but
we
will
have
a
recorded
division.
What
will
happen
is
there
will
be
a
30-second
Bell?
E
There
will
be
a
15-minute
period
between
that,
in
which
the
actual
division
takes
place
at
14
minutes
a
minute
long
Bell
will
sound
again.
Please
don't
be
alarmed
to
try
to
make
this
as
smooth
as
possible.
If
you
must
leave
the
chamber,
I
think
it's
reasonable
to
allow
you
the
opportunity
to
do
that
if
you
can
remain
seated
to
create
as
little
disruption
as
possible.
That's
helpful,
but
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
the
delay
may
not
be
ideal
for
some
of
you.
