Please

the
chamber.
N
Mr
Speaker
a
real
plan
to
create
good
paying
jobs,
Drive
investment
in
spur
competitiveness.
That's
exactly
what
our
official
opposition
rolled
out
yesterday
and
I
encourage
everyone
to
read
it
at
albertasfuture.ca,
and
no,
it
doesn't
include
a
job
killing
on
Democratic
sovereignty
act.
Instead,
it
does
include
actual
consultation
with
indigenous
communities,
about
expanding
opportunities
for
First
Nations
Partnerships
on
critical
economic
projects.
It
includes
a
new
tax
credit,
the
Alberta's
future
tax
credit,
which
will
support
innovation
in
new
spaces,
lead
to
10
million
dollars
in
new
Investments
and
create
an
estimated
twenty
thousand
jobs.
N
It
also
includes
a
move
to
supercharge
the
petrochemical
incentive
program
started
under
our
government.
Additional
support
for
this
program
will
lead
to
another
10
billion
in
new
investment
and
create
another
27
000
in
good
paying
jobs.
It
also
includes
a
performance
fast
pass.
A
Nexus
type
support
for
businesses
with
good
track
records
to
get
their
projects
off
the
ground
faster.
These
are
game.
Changing
proposals
from
Alberta's
NDP
Mr
Speaker.
What
does
it
mean
for
albertans?
N
It
means
good
paying
jobs,
more
diversification,
more
investment
opportunities,
more
opportunities
for
everyone,
we're
also
going
to
support
our
Future
Leaders
with
a
new
campus
in
downtown
Calgary
and
by
restoring
funding
cut
by
this
government
at
the
worst
possible
time.
We're
going
to
support
workers
by
restoring
their
rights,
we're
going
to
protect
the
retirement
security
of
those
who've,
worked
their
entire
lives
and
who
will
rely
on
the
CPP
and
we're
going
to
support
families
with
affordable
child
care.
N
We're
going
to
connect
communities
with
an
actual
plan
for
Rural
Broadband
we're
going
to
build
an
economic
future
for
all.
There's
an
exciting
conversation
happening
at
albertisfuture.ca
that
everyone
is
invited
to
coming
together
to
solve
major
challenges
and
ensure
economic
prosperity
for
all.
That's
how
we
build
a
better
future.
O
Mr
Speaker,
the
members
opposite,
are
spending
a
lot
of
time
these
days,
claiming
they
know
what's
best
for
Alberta.
But
let's
take
a
look
back.
Shall
we?
Under
the
NDP
average
weekly
earnings
grew
1.7
percent?
Over
four
years?
Under
this
government,
average
weekly
earnings
have
increased
11,
the
NDP
raised
taxes,
fees
and
fines
97
times
amounting
to
3.4
billion
in
tax
hikes,
including
the
carbon
tax,
the
largest
tax
hike
in
history.
O
Let's
look
at
Venture
Capital
Mr
Speaker
under
the
NDP
2016
34
million
18
58
million
in
2017
Calgary
wasn't
even
in
the
top
10
Countrywide
under
this
government
for
the
third
year
in
a
row,
Alberta
is
on
track
to
shatter
Venture
Capital
Records.
Under
the
NDP
there
were
hits
to
investment
across
the
board.
Overall
investment
dropped,
38.1
percent
46.5
decline
in
production,
40.2
in
Utilities
18.6
in
transportation,
Warehouse
in
a
40
14.1
decline
in
wholesale
and
Retail
trade.
O
The
amdp
even
promised
a
budget
surplus
of
586
million,
but
in
2018
2019
they
created
a
7.9
billion
deficits.
Ndp
government
spending
was
out
of
control
with
a
path
that
would
have
cost
every
Alberta
taxpayer.
Twenty
four
hundred
dollars
more
in
taxes
every
year,
their
only
success
was
making
Alberta
high
cost
High
regulation
Market
that
drove
45
billion
of
investment
out
of
our
Province.
Today
our
government
is
leading
the
country
with
a
forecasted
57
billion
of
investment.
This
year
alone,
Alberta
beat
the
national
average
in
Real
GDP
growth.
O
P
What
was
the
day
before
Christmas
and
all
through
the
house,
mlas
were
stirring
for
session
was
almost
out.
Our
families
had
hung
our
Christmas
stockings
with
care
and
hopes
that
eventually
we'd
get
back
there.
Al
Burns
were
watching
from
their
nice,
warm
homesteads,
feeling
hope
for
jobs,
affordability.
Finally,
getting
ahead,
conservatives
give
rebates
supports
and
cheap
gas
lower
attacks,
help
for
parents
and
all
in
one
act
went
out
of
the
chamber.
P
There
arose
such
a
clatter
I,
looked
across
the
aisle
to
see
what
the
matter,
the
NDP
cried
job,
Killers
dictators,
destroying
Burda,
forgetting
their
leader.
Well,
he
lives
in
Ottawa
did
without
reading
the
bills,
showing
them
pettiness
that
should
probably
send
their
support
for
the
hills.
When
what
do
my
wandering
eyes
that
appear
a
new
338
poll,
they
must
now
think,
oh
dear,
on
Jake
meat
on
Trudeau
on
liberal
appointee.
P
Those
were
the
top
sources
now
can't
you
see
to
talk
with
the
party
to
the
ends
of
the
Earth
albertans
know
that
they'll
never
ever
put
Alberta.
First,
they
scoffed
and
called
their
sovereignty
act
undemocratic.
But
if
you
the
build-
and
how
can
you
be
mad
at
it?
If
the
ntp
had
their
way,
it's
clear,
they
do
nothing,
they
say
they
have
Solutions,
but
they
know
they're
just
bluffing
all
session
long.
Our
government
acted
in
good
faith.
We
listened
proposed
amendments
and
participated
in
debate.
P
Unfortunately,
for
them,
the
same
can't
be
said,
which
leaves
me
here
just
scratching
my
head,
because
they
claim
we're
the
problem
that
Alberta
won't
fear
but
deep
down.
They
know
that
their
record's
quite
bare
so
feel,
listen
closely.
Then
go
hear
the
truth
to
be
out.
There
is
better
and
we
have
the
proof.
We've
grown
the
economy
and
diversified
too,
given
hope
to
new
grads
that
their
dreams
can
come
true.
We've
fought
through
our
Province
and
defended
its
right
to
develop
its
resources
and
package
beef
more
polite.
P
Q
Mr
Speaker
I'm,
proud
to
be
the
MLA
representing
the
Misericordia
Hospital,
which
opened
in
1900
and
has
been
in
its
current
location
since
1969.
I'm,
proud
to
be
able
to
stand
here
and
advocate
for
this
Hospital
the
people
who
access
it
and
the
front
line
health
care
workers
who
work
hard
to
protect
Alberta's
health.
During
the
pandemic,
we
saw
the
links
that
health
care
workers
would
go
to
protect
the
lives
of
their
patients.
Q
They
worked
themselves
to
exhaustion
and
risk
burnout
to
ensure
that
those
who
needed
their
help
were
supported,
and
they
did
this
while
at
the
same
time
dealing
with
a
government
that
was
focused
on
fighting
with
Frontline
workers.
We
owe
our
Hospital
front
lines
more
than
we
possibly
possibly
can
pay
back.
Q
The
Misericordia
Hospital
urgently
needs
two
new
CT
scanners,
one
to
replace
aging
CT
scanner,
which
can
be
out
of
service
for
long
periods
of
time,
impacting
health
care
across
the
region
and
another
one
primarily
for
emergency
room
use
in
the
soon
to
be
open
emergency
room
funded
by
the
previous
NDP
government.
As
I'm
sure.
All
members
of
this
house
know.
Ct
scanners
are
fundamental
to
emergency
treatment
and
diagnosis.
They
are
as
essential
to
hospital
aesthetoscopes.
This
is
a
simple
investment
that
will
help
with
Diagnostics
in
their
emergency
room
and
for
the
rest
of
the
hospital.
Q
The
return
on
investment
is
almost
incalculable
for
the
hospital
for
the
community
and
for
the
entire
region.
Served
by
the
Misericordia
I
urge
this
government
to
look
at
the
needs
of
our
hospitals
and
ensure
that
they
are
supported,
because
when
we
invest
in
health
care,
we
are
investing
in
Alberta,
Mr,
Speaker
and
Alberta.
Ndb
government
will
always
stand
with
our
front
line:
health
care
workers
and
the
patients
they
serve.
R
Speaker,
small
businesses
are
the
backbone
of
Alberta,
particularly
in
my
writings
of
Kelly
Bennington.
There
are
so
many
amazing
small
businesses
that
I'm
proud
to
support.
Small
businesses
are
like
a
Briston,
Pub
and
iterate
owned
by
Becky
in
the
neighborhood
of
a
mceven
who
started
her
business
during
the
highs
of
covid-19
and
I,
worked
through
the
many
challenges
that
the
pandemics
present
this
place,
that
there's
many
challenges,
big
kids
and
never
give
up
on
her
business.
R
She
make
it
through
in
a
perspective,
thanks
to
the
support
of
a
community
and
the
support
of
this
UCP
government,
like
our
small
business
grant.
Yes
Mr
speakers
Alberta
has
is
off,
despite
the
NDP
attempts
to
start
for
our
economy,
while
they
were
in
power,
the
ucbs
invested
in
growing
it,
and
that
this
government's
work
has
a
payoff
enormously.
We
have
again
of
over
a
hundred
thousand
jobs
in
the
last
years.
We
now
have
among
the
lowest
unemployment
rate
in
the
country,
which
is
a
tremendously
different
from
when
the
NDP
was
the
government.
R
Edmonton
and
Calgary
have
a
two
of
the
top
three
unemployment
rate
in
Canada
Mr
speakers
on
this
side
of
the
house.
We
know
that
is
a
strong
economy,
make
a
strong
Alberta
and
when
we
have
a
strong
Alberta,
we
all
share
in
the
prosperity,
especially
those
that
need
in
most
this,
including
over
the
most
generous
social
progress
of
any
Province
programs
that
have
an
only
gotten
stronger.
This
is
including
the
indexes
of
age
income
supporter
the
senior
benefit
and
the
Alberta
child
and
family
benefit.
R
I
Chair
committees,
thank
you,
Mr
Speaker,
sometimes
when
I
look
at
the
news,
I'm
stunned
and
I
cannot
believe
the
headlines
that
I
read
and
it's
not
always
just
on
the
CBC
one.
Such
report
states
that
the
Dutch
government
is
planning
to
purchase
over
3
000
Farms
only
to
shut
them
down
soon
after
they
are
claiming
that
this
is
an
effort
to
comply
with
European
Union
environmental
mandates
to
slash
nitrogen
emissions
Earth.
The
Netherlands
is
not
the
only
place
where
attacks
are
taking
place
on
farming.
Here
in
our
own
country,
we
are
seeing
similar
intentions.
I
The
federal
government
wants
to
increase
the
carbon
tax,
which
would
cause
Canadian
Farmers
upwards
of
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
annually
Mr
Speaker.
These
plans
will
jeopardize
the
sustainability
and
the
viability
of
the
Canadian
Family
Farm.
Some
Farmers
have
voiced
a
pre
opposition
to
the
new
rules
and
how
could
they
not
Mr?
Speaker
farming
is
the
livelihood
of
many
people
and
the
backbone
of
this
province,
and
these
rules
have
put
these
livelihoods
at
stake.
Mr
Speaker,
our
AG
producers,
have
a
long
history
of
environmental
stewardship.
I
In
fact,
I'd
even
say
it's
in
their
DNA
I
know
this
because
I'm
proud
to
say
that
I'm,
the
fifth
generation
race
on
our
family
farm
I
watched
my
dad
and
grandfather
year
after
year
work
the
land
with
respect
knowing
that,
if
they
took
care
of
the
land,
the
land
would
take
care
of
them.
This
was
so
important
to
them
that,
following
the
depression,
my
grandpa
Reed
and
my
great
grandpa
Reynolds
ran
part
of
their
operation
as
an
experimental
Farm
looking
for
ways
to
develop
farming
techniques
and
seed.
I
That
would
better
the
environment
that
work
played
a
large
role
in
developing
Innovative
farming.
Hardware
Hardware,
just
like
the
noble
blade
because
of
the
roots
and
the
Heritage
that
I
have
in
the
farming
sector.
I
must
stand
up
for
our
egg
producers.
I
truly
believe
that
farmers
and
ranchers
are
stewards
of
the
land
and
yet
all
over
the
world,
they're
being
devalued
and
attacked.
I
B
S
Mr
Speaker
before
the
house
Rises.
Let's
look
at
who
was
really
focused
on
albertans's
session.
Our
party
brought
forward
legislation
to
protect
and
improve
health
care.
We
introduced
a
framework
for
jobs,
growth
and
investment
attraction.
We
released
a
plan
to
freeze
to
insurance
premiums
and
lower
costs
for
families.
But
what
did
the
UCP
do?
They
ran
through
a
job-killing
sovereignty,
act,
dividing
Canadians
and
setting
indigenous
relations
back
a
generation.
So
does
the
premier
understand
why
no
one
trusts
her
government
to
act
on
what
really
matters
to
albertans,
The
Honorable.
E
T
E
Note
is
that
they
are
trying
to
rewrite
history.
Many
people
in
The,
Province,
and
certainly
everyone
on
this
side
are
not
going
to
forget
the
NDP
job-killing
record.
When
you
look
at
what
we
have
done,
increasing
the
amount
of
venture
capital
increasing
the
amount
of
capital
investment,
we've
got
oil
sands
company
increasing
again
Alberta,
seen
a
net
increase
of
over
a
hundred
thousand
jobs
since
last
year.
The.
S
The
most
pressing
concern
of
this
session
was
the
health
of
Alberta's
children
who
were
fighting
RSV,
covid
and
influenza.
We
saw
overwhelmed
emergency
rooms
at
our
pediatric
hospitals,
weights
of
20
hours
in
Calgary.
There
are
so
many
sick
children
waiting.
They
had
to
put
a
trailer
outside
to
keep
them
in
the
health.
Minister
said
help
was
coming
soon,
but
it
never
arrived.
The
government
voted
against
addressing
the
child
health
care
crisis
three
separate
times.
So
why
does
the
premier
care
more
about
paper
straws
than
she
does
about
sick
children
in
Alberta.
E
The
Honorable,
the
premiere
Mr
Speaker
I,
was
very
concerned
about
the
20-hour
Waits,
which
is
why
we
put
Dr
John
Cowell
in
place
and,
as
I've,
been
monitoring
the
the
wait
times.
They've
never
exceeded
that
level
since
he
came
in
and
so
the
system's
working
but
I
know
that
the
members
opposite
is
already
trying
to
change
the
channel
because
they
are
forgetting
an
albertans
vote
that
the
NDP
hike
taxes
by
3.4
billion
in
their
four
years
of
government.
E
S
Another
story
of
this
session
is
all
the
UCP
members
who
lost
their
moral
compasses.
They
spoke
against
the
sovereignty
act,
but
when
it
came
time
to
stand
up
for
albertans
they
sold
out
for
power
and
a
promotion,
they
backed
the
premiers
issuing
clarifications
for
things
like
her
defense
of
Vladimir
Putin
or
claiming
that
the
unvaccinated
were
the
most
discriminated
it
against
or
heard
attacks
on
cancer
patients
or
her
refusal
to
support
vaccines.
Her
insulting
comments
about
indigenous
people
is
there.
E
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker
I
do
recall
that
when
the
NDP
were
in
power
and
we
saw
a
decline
in
our
economy,
the
former
NDP
energy
Minister
said
this.
Certainly
there
are
always
ways
to
talk
about
mobility
of
jobs
between
provinces,
so
maybe
they
can
go
work
in
BC
until
it
gets
better
and
then
come
back
home.
That
was
their
job
creation
strategy
to
chase
people
out
of
this
province,
and
we
saw
six
consecutive
quarters
of
of
people
leaving
this
province.
That's
turned
around.
We
now
have
net
in
migration.
S
Speaker
earlier
this
month,
the
former
president
and
CEO
of
AHS
Dr
Verna
Yu
gave
a
presentation
at
the
University
of
Alberta.
It
was
on
Health
Care
in
Alberta's
Workforce.
She
warned
that
demand
for
nurses
and
other
health
care
workers
in
Canada
is
going
up
and
a
time
when
all-time
vacancies
are
the
highest
they've
ever
been.
Yet.
The
UCP
government
continues
to
attack
and
blame
Frontline
workers,
instead
of
working
with
them
to
attract
more
people
to
the
profession
and
keep
those
who
are
working
in
it
today.
So
to
the
premier.
S
E
E
We
now
welcome
anyone,
regardless
of
the
medical
choice
that
they
make
to
work
in
our
system
and
Alberta
Health
Services,
that's
reaching
out
a
hand
to
other
provinces
where
they
still
have
those
restrictions
in
place,
and
so
that's
what
we're
going
to
be
doing
we're,
also
working
with
through
our
minister
of
skilled
trades
and
professions,
to
ensure
that
we're
doing
recruitment
internationally.
We
are
also
making
sure
that
we
reduce
the
recognition
that.
S
Speaker,
the
chaos
caused
by
the
ACP
in
our
Health
Care
system
is
driving
workers
away.
Dr
Hughes
presentations
show
that
health
care
workers
worker
vacancy
rate
in
Alberta
has
gone
up
50
under
the
UCP.
The
voluntary
termination
rate
that's
people
quitting
in
our
province
in
healthcare
has
gone
up.
50
percent
the
number
of
workers
quitting
in
their
first
year
under
this
government
has
doubled
more
healthcare
workers
are
working
overtime
and
they're
getting
sick.
So
why
won't
the
premier
start
listening
to
the
front
lines?
Listen
to
the
workers.
Take
action
before
things
get
even
worse.
E
E
Is
why
we
are
working
with
our
Frontline
workers
to
identify
their
issues
to
make
sure
that
we
are
addressing
them
on
the
ground
to
push
decision
making
down
so
that
we've
got
more
money
for
the
front
line?
We're
going
to
continue
that
process
that
we
started?
And
it
only
started
because
we
took
the
Bold
decision
to
put
Dr
John
Kelly
in
place.
S
According
to
documents
released
today
by
CTV
News
ER
wait
times
at
Edmonton.
Hospitals
are
the
longest
they've
been
since
2015.
AHS
data
shows
that
four
hospitals
either
match
their
longest
monthly
wait
time
or
surpass
them
in
September
that
is
driven
by
the
triple
rammy
of
RSV,
covid
and
influenza,
of
which
Alberta
has
the
highest
rates
of
spread
in
Canada.
Why
won't
the
premier
show
some
leadership,
stand
up
with
the
chief
medical
officer
of
Health,
publicly
tell
albertans
that
vaccines,
work
and
answer
questions
about
the
growing
Health
Care
crisis
in
Alberta,
The
Honorable,
the
premier.
E
Mr
Speaker.
We
believe
that
it
is
important
for
people
to
talk
to
their
family
doctor
about
the
medical
choices
that
are
best
for
them.
Obviously,
influenza
a
vaccine
is
important
for
those
who
are
most
vulnerable
and
can
help
reduce
the
risk.
That
is
a
message
that
has
been
put
out
there
by
Dr
joffe.
He
has
put
it
on
press
releases.
He
has
put
it
out
on
Twitter.
He
has
written
letters
to
parents
advising
them
of
their
options.
The
other
thing
that
they
can
do,
of
course,
is
stay
home
if
they
are
sick
and
I.
E
V
In
2019,
the
UCP
did
a
favor
for
their
buddies
in
the
insurance
industry
and
removed
the
rate
cap
on
car
insurance
right
away
premium
premium
sold
for
albertans.
In
my
riding,
this
meant
thousands
of
dollars
in
extra
costs
on
top
of
the
worst
cost
of
living
in
40
years.
Meanwhile,
insurance
companies
are
making
record
profits.
The
premier
says
she
knows
we
need
a
solution.
Well,
she
admit
that
the
problem
was
caused
by
her
Finance
Minister
picking
his
friend
in
the
insurance
industry
overall
world.
B
E
Honorable,
the
premier
Mr
Speaker.
It
is
quite
clear
that
insurance
rates
have
been
going
up
for
a
long
time.
They
went
all.
They
went
up
all
the
way
through
the
ndp's
time
in
office
five
percent
per
year
for
a
total
of
20.
We
now
know
that
we're
in
a
position
where
Alberta
has
some
of
the
highest
insurance
rates
in
the
country.
E
That's
why
I've
asked
my
finance
minister
and
my
affordability
and
utilities
minister
to
meet
with
the
insurance
industry
so
that
we
can
talk
about
ways
that
we
can
address
this
in
the
long
run,
because
part
of
the
problem
with
the
approach
taken
by
the
members
opposite
is
that
it
resulted
in
people
having
to
pay
their
insurance
premiums
up
front
people
were
de-insured,
people
had
to
bundle
their
insurance
and
it
became
unaffordable.
We
need
better
Solutions,
The
Honorable.
V
According
to
a
recent
report
by
Ernest
and
Young,
albertans
are
forced
to
buy
the
most
expensive
car
insurance
in
Canada.
An
Alberta
driver
could
pay
more
than
double
what
their
twin
brother
pays.
Having
an
identical
car
in
British
Columbia.
These
premiums
have
sold
since
the
UCP
Finance
Minister
removed
the
Red
Cap.
That's
fact:
will
the
premium
accept
responsibility
for
alberton's
paying
for
the
most
expensive
car
insurance
in
the
country
after
her
government
gave
the
green
light
to
massive
increases.
E
E
E
We
are
hearing
is
that
there
are
certain
percentage
of
the
insured
that
are
seeing
double
and
triple
the
increases,
and
we
need
to
understand
why
that
is.
We
are
hearing
stories
of
people
who
have
a
clean,
driving
record
and
they're
seeing
an
increase.
We
need
to
understand
why
that
is
to
act
as
if
it's
100
across
the
board
is
is
not
true.
The.
V
W
V
E
B
E
Call
it
is,
it
is
well
understood,
with
the
Ernst
young
report,
that
we
have
seen
an
escalation
and
race
that
began
in
2015
and
has
continued
the
bulk
of
that
increase
happened
under
the
NDP
time
in
office,
and
that's
why
we
got
to
go
and
we
got
to
address
this.
We've
got
to
identify
the
issues
and
then
we've
got
to
work
over
the
next
number
of
months
to
find
short-term,
midterm
and
long-term
Solutions.
What
they,
what
they
put
forward,
simply
didn't
work
correct.
Y
Since
2019
we've
turned
away
about
300
seniors
a
year
because
we
didn't
have
a
bed
when
they
need
a
bed.
Those
were
the
words
of
Larry
Matheson,
the
CEO
of
Calgary's
Kirby
Center,
which
runs
the
lone
elder
abuse
shelter
in
the
city.
This
news
is
horrifying,
ensuring
that
no
one
is
turned
away
when
fleeling
from
abuse
is
critical
and
I
worry
about
the
health
and
safety
of
those
300
seniors
who
are
turned
away?
Will
the
minister
commit
to
fixing
this
problem
immediately?
Y
Z
You
Mr
Speaker
and
to
the
member
for
for
the
question,
of
course,
for
her
advocacy.
Of
course,
we
want
to
make
sure
we're
working
with
our
not-for-profit
providers,
our
shelter
providers
to
make
sure
that
especially
our
seniors
are
not
turned
away
and
so
more
than
happy
and
to
to
continue
to
work
with
these
folks
that
provide
these
excellent
services
in
our
community
to
make
sure
that
we
have
excellence
in
support
and
and
services
for
seniors
in
our
community.
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker.
Y
Seniors
built
this
province
and
we
owe
them
respect,
dignity
and
support
to
live
their
best
lives
seniors
need
a
voice,
especially
when
dealing
with
the
government
that
has
no
compassion.
Like
the
UCP.
We
have
proposed
the
creation
of
an
independent
seniors,
Advocate
someone
to
stand
up
for
seniors
and
bring
their
concerns
to
government
this
government
through
seniors
off
their
benefit
plans.
They
cut
their
Income
Support
programs
and
attacked
our
health
system.
Given
the
legacy
of
cruel
UCP
policy
decisions
impacting
seniors,
will
the
minister
agree
it's
time
to
bring
back
the
seniors,
Advocates
The.
Z
Community
and
Social
Services
thank
you,
Mr,
Speaker
and
again
to
the
member
for
for
her
question
and
her
advocacy.
This
government
is
taking
action
to
help
with
the
address
affordability,
challenges
for
seniors
in
our
community.
I,
like
her,
have
been
out
hitting
doors
and
have
heard
from
Seniors
firsthand
about
the
challenges
around
affordability.
That's
why
we
re-index
Senior
Benefits!
That's
why
we
have
come
with
100
a
month,
starting
in
January,
for
seniors
in
this
province
to
help
address
affordability
issues.
Z
Y
Pain
suffering
and
stress,
Alberta,
seniors
experience
under
this
government
continues
to
deepen.
The
UCP
is
planning
to
pull
seniors
off
the
Canada
Pension
Plan
they're,
throwing
the
retirement
security
of
hundreds
of
thousands
into
complete
chaos.
Seniors
shouldn't
have
to
worry
about
the
premier
and
Finance
Minister
blowing
their
retirements
on
a
police
force.
No
one
wants
or
a
Revenue
Agency
that
no
one
wants.
Will
the
premier
please
stop
scaring
seniors
and
stop
threatening
their
retirement
by
pulling
out
of
C
CPP
right
here
and
right
now,
The.
B
Z
Z
The
minister
thank
you,
Mr
Speaker,
of
course,
seniors
pensions
are
not
at
risk,
and
we
will
continue
to
make
sure
that
our
seniors
are
cared
for
that
we
have
supports
in
our
community.
We
obviously
are
so
thankful
for
our
seniors
for
building
our
Province
and
giving
us
the
Legacy
that
we
have
here
today.
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker,
The,.
L
You
Mr
Speaker
Mr
Speaker
on
May
1st
2020,
the
federal
government
arbitrarily
banned
more
than
1500
types
of
firearms
after
the
amnesty
expires
on
October
2023.
Law-Abiding
albertans
could
face
jail
time
under
the
criminal
code
for
simply
possessing
property
that
they
legally
purchased
to
the
Minister
of
Justice.
How
will
taking
back
constitutional
jurisdiction
for
handling
charges
under
the
federal
firearms
Act
help
protect
Alberta's,
law-abiding
Firearms
owners.
AA
Well,
thank
you
Mr
Speaker,
to
the
member
for
the
question
and
look.
We
know
that
Public
Safety
Canada
doesn't
have
the
capacity
they
don't
have
the
wherewithal
they
don't
have
the
resources
to
confiscate
hundreds
of
thousands
of
firearms
across
Canada,
but
that
doesn't
mean
we're
willing
to
take
any
risks.
This
is
a
federal
government
which
is
making
a
habit
of
making
life
more
difficult
for
folks,
the
federal
government.
If
they
don't
extend
the
amnesty,
any
person
who
owns
a
firearm
listed
in
the
2020
band
will
be
criminalized
by
the
federal
government
in
October
of
23..
L
You
Mr
Speaker
and
thanks
to
the
minister
of
the
response,
given
that
Alberta
is
taking
back
constitutional
jurisdiction
for
the
handling
charges
under
the
Firearms
Act
and
given
the
Alberta's
Crown
prosecutors
will
now
determine
whether
to
purchase
or
pursue
charges
or
not
and
further.
Given
that
this
new
protocol
provides
prosecutors
with
guidance
in
respective
to
public
interest
when
determining
the
charges
to
the
same
Minister.
How
the
newly
issued
protocol
to
Alberta's
crown
prosecutors
help
protect
Alberta's,
law-abiding
Firearms
owners.
AA
Prosecutors
with
guidance
on
figuring
out
when
something
is
or
is
not
in
the
public
interest
or
whether
or
not
to
pursue
charges.
The
protocol
states
that
it
will
not
be
in
the
public
interest
to
proceed
with
the
charge
of
possession
of
a
banned
firearm
where
there
are
the
following
factors
exist:
first,
that
the
accused
lawfully
obtained
the
firearm
before
May
1st
2020.
Second,
that
the
firearm
was
reclassified
as
prohibited
on
May,
1st
2020
and
second,
that
the
accused
has
not
been
charged
with
any
other
offense
in
relation
to
the
possession
or
use
of
that
firearm.

You
Mr
Speaker
and
again
to
the
minister.
Thank
you
for
your
work
in
this
file,
given
that
the
federal
government
handles
cases
involving
the
federal
arms
or
federal
firearms
act,
and
given
that
the
provinces
have
the
Constitutional
authority
to
handle
Federal
Criminal
Law
charges,
including
the
charges
related
to
the
federal
firearms
act
to
the
Minister
of
Justice.
How
will
these
steps
you've
taken
today
help
predict
albertans
who
own
firearms
that
could
be
banned
under
the
opposed
amendments
in
Bill,
c21.
AA
Of
Justice
thank
you,
Mr
Speaker,
and
to
the
member
for
the
question
over
the
past
month,
or
so
we've
seen
the
federal
government
continue
to
push
further
than
we
could
have
ever
imagined,
with
the
proposed
amendments
to
Bill
c21.
These
amendments
arbitrarily
ban
hundreds
of
new
models
of
legally
owned,
shotguns
and
rifles.
This
is
now
legislation
which
is
proposed
to
Target
Hunters
Farmers
Sports
Shooters,
who
collectively
own
hundreds
of
thousands
of
firearms
that
could
soon
be
prohibited,
and
if
these
amendments
are
successful,
c21
will
be
the
most
sweeping
and
arbitrary
ban
in
Canadian
history.
AB
Foreign
in
2018,
our
government
tied
the
value
of
benefits
for
each
recipients
and
low-income
seniors
to
inflation.
Finally,
in
2019,
one
of
the
first
things
the
UCP
government
did
was
attack
vulnerable
and
disabled
albertans
in
our
Province,
by
cutting
the
vital
benefits
the
UCP
Justified,
the
cruel
decision
by
saying
they
couldn't
afford
to
increase
the
increased
costs
of
running
deficits,
yet
they
paid
for
their
ridiculous
war
room
and
gave
away
handouts
to
wealthy
corporations.
That
was
three
years
ago
and
still
the
UCP
has
failed
to
apologize
for
the
harm
that
they've
done.
AB
Z
Community
and
Social
Services,
thank
you,
Mr
Speaker,
and
thank
you
member
for
the
the
history
lesson.
I
remember
three
years
ago
or
three
and
a
half
years
ago,
the
previous
government
left
us
in
a
fiscal
mess
deficit
after
deficit
after
deficit
on
the
path
to
over
a
hundred
billion
dollars
in
debt.
That's
five
billion
dollars
a
year
at
the
current
tax
rate
in
just
financing
costs
money
that
could
have
went
to
the
people
that
need
in
our
community.
AB
Giving
the
UCP
government
think
so
little
of
vulnerable
people
that
they'd
like
to
make
more
life
even
more
difficult
for
them
by
cutting
vital
benefits
and
giving
the
public
pressure.
Finally
forced
the
UCP
to
reverse
their
devastating
decision
and
re-index
benefits.
And
given
the
ECP
is
doing
this
on
a
go
forward
basis.
Only
and
ignoring
the
fact
that
they'll
be
responsible
for
people
impacted
by
our
society
with
three
years
worth
of
cuts.
AB
AC
AD
AC
AC
AB
Given
that
we're
all
living
through
the
worst
affordability
crisis
in
40
years
and
given
for
many
of
us,
it
means
just
you
know:
cutting
costs
at
the
grocery
store,
putting
vacations
on
hold,
but
for
the
most
vulnerable
and
disabled
it
can
be
the
difference
between
having
a
home
and
being
forced
onto
the
street.
It
can
be
the
matter
of
life
or
death,
I
still
hear
from
people
every
day
who
can't
make
ends
meet
it's
not
this
inflationary
crisis
is
crushing
them,
and
what
this
government
is
proposing
to
do
is
not
enough.
Z
Community
and
Social
Services.
Thank
you.
Mr
Speaker
I
share
that
members
deep
concern
for
our
most
vulnerable
in
our
community
and
that's
why
this
government
is
taking
action,
has
taken.
Action
will
continue
to
take
real
action
to
make
sure
we
address
the
affordability
challenges
that
our
most
vulnerable
are
facing
our
community
but
Mr
Speaker.
Again
we
have
to
revisit
the
track
record
from
three
and
a
half
years
ago
or.
Z
Social
Services,
thank
you,
Mr
Speaker,
again,
let's
revisit
the
track
record
from
three
and
a
half
years
ago
and
the
financial
disaster
that
we
found
ourselves
in
when
we
took
over
government.
This
government
got
our
financial
house
back
in
order
not
only
protecting
these
programs
today,
Mr
Speaker,
but
also
into
the
future,
to
make
sure
that
we
can
support
vulnerable
people
along
the.
AE
Thank
you
Mr
Speaker.
Over
six
months
ago,
the
UCP
government
created
fear
and
anxiety
by
Cooley
attempting
to
take
coverage
for
insulin
pumps
away
from
4
000
albertans,
who
rely
on
the
insulin
pump,
Therapy
Program.
Now,
thankfully,
albertans
organized
and
rallies
against
us
in
the
UCP
back
down
the
minister
of
Health,
rightly
apologized,
that
in
July
promised
there
would
be
meaningful,
ongoing
conversations
on
future
policy
with
the
diabetes
working
group.
But
as
of
today,
the
membership
of
the
group
is
still
not
known
for
what
I've
seen
hasn't
even
met.
AF
Speaker
and
thank
you
to
The
Honorable
member
for
the
question
speaker.
We
understand
that
diabetes
is
a
significant
issue,
we're
very
pleased
to
be
able
to
announce
the
two
co-chairs
of
the
diabetes
working
group
and
they
are
working
we're
identifying
the
the
other
individuals
on
that
working
group
to
continue
to
be
able
to
identify
how
we
can
address
this
chronic
disease,
better
support,
albertans,
you
know
who
who
have
it
and
also
prevent
others
albertans
from
getting
diabetes,
Mr,
Mr
Speaker.
This
is
a
significant
issue.
AE
Is
not
set
up
and
given
that
after
the
UCP
promised
not
to
cancel
the
program,
they
also
committed
new
pumps
with
updated
technology
would
be
added
to
the
program
as
early
as
possible
this
year
and
given
that
was
exciting.
News
for
albertans
who'd
benefit
from
that
technology
to
hear
what
happened
this
year,
but
given
there's
not
much
time
left
in
2022
and
I'm
hearing
from
many
albertans
that
when
they
ask
this
government,
their
questions
are
going
unanswered
about
when
they'll
have
access
to
those
new
pumps.
AF
You
Mr
Speaker
indeed,
The
Honorable
member
is
quite
correct.
We
made
a
commitment
that
we
would
make
new
pumps
available
and
I'm
very
pleased
that
work
is
being
done
right
now
between
Alberta
Health
and
working
with
manufacturers
to
actually
make
those
available
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
be
able
to
make
an
announcement
on
that
in
the
very
near
future.
The.
B
AA
AF
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker,
the
Mr
Speaker,
as
when
we
talked
about
the
potential
changes
to
the
insulin
pump
program.
We
indicate
we
indicated
that
we,
you
know
at
that
point
in
time
when
we
actually
made
the
change
that
we
we
we're
going
to
maintain
the
program
as
it
stands:
Mr
Mr
Speaker.
We
will
be
maintaining
the
program
as
it
stands
again.
AF
AG
Speaker
I
recently
had
the
opportunity
to
attend
the
opening
of
the
Shoppers
Drug
Mart,
pharmacist
walk-in
clinic
in
Fort
Saskatchewan.
This
location
is
one
of
a
few
that
recently
opened.
The
pharmacist
walk-in
clinic
is
a
new
and
Innovative
concept
serving
to
offer
basic
Healthcare
Services
to
patients
such
as
the
common
ailments
and
injuries
by
expanding
the
roles
of
prescribing
pharmacists.
Can
the
minister
of
Health
please
inform
this
house
on
how
this
Innovative
idea
actually
works.
AF
Well,
thank
you
Mr
Speaker,
and
thank
you
to
the
member
for
the
excellent
question.
Alberta's
need
albertans
need
better
access
to
Primary
Care,
and
this
pilot
project
uses
the
skills
of
Pharmacy
teams
to
improve
access
safely
and
appropriately
with
the
same
regulatory
oversight
as
all
other
health
care
providers.
These
clinics
will
enable
albertans
to
get
help
quickly
and
easily
for
minor
health
problems
and
the
management
of
chronic
conditions.
Pharmacists
work
within
their
defined
scope
of
practice,
their
key
assets
in
delivering
quality
primary
care
and
can
help
address
many
health
concerns
that
may
otherwise
go
untreated.
AG
Mr
Speaker,
given
that
wait
times,
are
a
major
issue
within
the
Health
Care
system
in
Alberta
and
the
rest
of
Canada,
and
that
patients
are
often
left
waiting
for
far
too
long
for
simple,
yet
critical
treatment
and
diagnosis,
and
given
that
prescribing
pharmacists
are
a
Frontline
Healthcare
staff,
which
many
albertans
count
on
for
a
variety
of
services
can
the
same
Minister.
Please
explain
how
this
new
concept
of
pharmacist
walk-in
clinics
will
help
reduce
wait
times
for
albertans
seeking
Health
Care
The.
AF
Honorable,
the
minister
of
Health,
thanks
once
again
to
The
Honorable
member
for
the
question.
Mr
Speaker
pharmacist
in
Alberta
have
the
broadest
scope
of
practice
in
Canada
by
leveraging
their
extensive
training.
This
pilot
offers
Albert's
another
Health
Care
option
which
can
ease
pressures
on
other
parts
of
our
Health
Care
system
through
better
management
of
chronic
diseases
like
diabetes
and
high
blood
high
blood
pressure.
Pharmacists
can
help
to
take
pressure
off
family
doctors
and
emergency
rooms
with
the
knowledge
gained
from
the
pilot
project.
AF
AG
Honorable
member,
thank
you
Mr
Speaker,
given
that
pharmacists
walk-in
clinics
are
simply
one
step
closer
to
shortening
wait
times
and
that
many
of
my
constituents
have
contacted
me
over
the
years
with
concerns
and
suggestions
regarding
the
state
of
our
Health
Care
system,
and
given
that
our
government
is
committed
to
improving
the
Health
Care
system
for
all
albertans.
Can
the
minister
please
share
with
this
house
the
government
strategy
to
reduce
wait
times
and
improve
accessibility
of
health
care
for
all
albertans?
The.
AF
Minister
of
Health,
thanks
once
again
to
the
member
for
the
excellent
question:
Mr
Speaker,
we
know
our
Health
Care
system
is
under
strain
and
we're
taking
action
to
address
it.
Last
month,
the
premier
and
I
appointed
Dr
John
Cowell,
as
the
official
administer
for
AHS,
in
order
to
provide
efficient,
effective
and
decisive
leadership
that
we
need
right
now.
AH
Another
task
force
from
the
UCP
I'm
lost
folks
dying
on
our
streets,
can't
wait
for
a
task
force.
The
evidence
is
clear.
We
know
what's
needed.
Housing
investments
in
harm
reduction,
preventative
health
care,
not
a
task
force
consisting
of
mostly
white,
privileged
politicians,
who've,
never
experienced
homelessness
or
known
what
it's
like
to
struggle
with
addiction
to
the
premier,
now's
your
chance
to
set
a
new
Direction,
stop
with
the
Committees
the
panels,
the
task
forces
instead,
roll
up
your
sleeves
make.
The
Investments
we
all
know
are
needed
and
support
our
communities
today.
B
T
You
Mr
Speaker
addiction,
homelessness
and
public
safety
issues
are
impacting
every
community
in
Alberta.
That
is
why
we
are
taking
extreme
action
with
regards
to
this
fantastic
task
force.
I,
I
kind
of
actually
already
feel
like
I,
asked
some
of
the
answered
some
of
these
questions
yesterday,
so
maybe
I'll
just
give
a
couple
quotes
here:
I'd
like
to
quote
the
Edmonton
police
chief
Dale
McPhee,
who
said
this
is
the
first
time
that
I've
seen
the
right
ministers
take
the
right
approach.
In
my
opinion,
her
and
actually
drive
change.
T
AH
The
tragic
murder
of
two
men
in
Chinatown
this
year
highlighted
the
need
for
greater
support
for
Community
safety
and
multiple
ministers
from
this
government
met
with
leaders
from
the
Chinese
community
and
promised
to
support
the
healthy
streets
operations
center,
which
the
city
has
funded
for
two
years
as
part
of
the
safety
plan
demanded
by
the
Justice
Minister.
Yet
that
same
Minister
hasn't
even
responded
to
the
city's
request
for
provincial
support.
So
will
the
minister
commit
today
to
follow
through
on
his
government's
promise
to
help
fund
this
kiosk
from
the
Chinese
Community
The?.
AA
AH
Given
that
residents,
business
owners
and
leaders
in
the
communities
that
I
represent
want
to
see
compassionate
support
for
those
who
use
drugs,
including
investments
in
harm
reduction,
transitional
supports
and
Pathways
to
Recovery,
and
one
of
the
biggest
asks
that
we're
all
hearing
is
the
need
for
investment
in
transitional
housing
and
shelter,
options
to
bridge
the
gap
from
homelessness
to
permanent
housing.
So
to
the
minister
any
of
the
ministers.
Why
do
you
refuse
to
invest
in
support
of
housing?
It
saves
money,
it
saves
lives.
Do
the
right
thing.
Z
Community
and
Social
Services
Mr
Speaker:
this
government
is
taking
action.
We
have
been
taking
action,
we've
been
investing
in
affordable
housing
for
the
last
three
and
a
half
years,
so
it's
Supportive
Housing,
all
types
of
housing,
seniors
housing,
transitional
housing.
We
will
continue
to
invest
in
affordable
housing.
Actually,
I
just
did
a
big
announcement
the
other
day
again,
they
obviously
missed
the
announcement,
but
55
million
dollars
just
announced
that
the
other
day
here
in
Edmonton
we
are
building
housing.
Z
AI
Mr
Speaker
municipalities
are
under
increased
Financial
pressure
as
they
prepare
to
go
yet
another
year
without
collecting
unpaid
taxes
from
the
energy
sector.
According
to
the
RMA,
these
unpaid
taxes
have
grown
from
173
million
in
2020
to
now
more
than
253
million
in
2022.
Losing
those
revenues
means
more
municipalities,
are
forced
to
cut
services
and
eliminate
positions
in
November,
the
Municipal
Affairs
Minister
promised
the
RMA.
This
issue
was
our
top
priority
and
yet
they're
still
waiting.
When
will
they
get
their
unpaid
taxes?
AJ
And
irrigation
Mr
Speaker
I
was
happy
to
have
an
announcement
yesterday
with
both
the
president
of
RMA
and
am
we're
in
attendance,
a
great
announcement
on
our
Economic
Development
rural
Alberta
plan.
This
question
came
up
from
the
Press
Gallery
Paul
McLaughlin
president
RMA
stood
with
this
government
with
full
confidence
that
we
are
getting
to
the
root
of
this
problem.
There's
been
changes
that
have
been
discussed
by
both
energy
Municipal,
Affairs
and
environment.
AI
Heaven
clearly
failed
to
get
the
payments
flowing
to
municipalities
and,
given
that
the
Riva
Vulcan
County
has
said,
he
expects
the
number
to
increase,
saying
that
oil
and
gas
companies
with
active
Wells
actually
use
this
law
as
a
loophole
to
get
out
of
paying
their
back
taxes.
And
given
that
Balkan
county
has
already
had
to
lay
off
staff
because
of
the
UCP
failure.
Will
the
minister
admit
that
they
don't
have
a
plan
or
a
strategy
and
that
it
was
actually
a
failure
under
Bill
77
and
they
should
be
paying
rural
communities?
AI
AJ
The
minister
of
Agriculture
and
irrigation,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Mr
Speaker
and
I'm
from
part
of
the
world
where
there's
tons
of
Legacy
oil
activity
or
the
orphan
well
issue
is
a
big
thing.
I
worked
closely
with
my
municipalities
and
that
bill
did
help.
It
didn't
fix
the
problem.
No,
we
have
a
few.
We
have
a
few
bad
actors
that
are
giving
the
industry
a
bad
name
frankly,
Mr
Speaker
and
we're
going
to
continue
to
work
with
municipalities.
We
talk
about
municipalities,
I,
have
26
municipalities.
In
my
riding.
AJ
AI
Well,
given
that
yesterday,
the
leader
of
the
official
opposition
rolled
out
a
new
performance
fast
pass
is
a
plan
for
part
of
our
plan
for
job
creation
in
Alberta
and
given
this
pass,
acts
like
a
Nexus
but
for
economic
project
approvals,
allowing
companies
with
good
track
records
to
get
shovel
on
the
ground
quicker
and
given
that
this
fast
pass
could
act
as
an
incentive
for
companies
with
outstanding
taxes
owed
to
hurting
municipalities
to
pay
them
off.
Will
the
minister
stand
today
and
offer
support
for
our
performance
fast
pass?
It's
a
good
idea,
Minister.
AJ
Mr
Speaker,
it
sounds
very
much
like
something
we've
already
done,
and
municipalities
are
using
I
know.
Even
in
my
Department
of
Agriculture,
we
work
with
municipalities
in
a
concierge
service
style,
bringing
in
business
working
through
problems,
whether
it
be
rail
or
water,
but
I
will
promise
that
member
and
all
of
the
opposition,
if
they
do
ever
find
themselves
in
possession
of
a
good
idea,
we'll
look
at
it.
AK
AK
Mr
Speaker
recently
I
was
on
a
private
visit
to
my
family
in
India
first
time
in
three
years.
During
that
time,
I
also
met
with
CEOs
of
major
companies
in
various
sectors.
I
was
pleased
to
find
that
many
of
these
Business
Leaders
were
excited
about
investing
in
Canada
and
especially
in
Calgary's
booming
economy.
Can
the
minister
of
jobs
and
economy?
Please
explain
why
there
is
such
an
excitement
about
the
opportunities
in
Calgary
The.
AL
Mr
speaker,
thank
you
to
the
hard-working
member
from
Calgary.
Edgemont
and
I
will
tell
you.
Calgary's
economy
is
booming.
People
can't
wait
to
set
up
shop
in
Alberta
and
especially
Calgary
and
here's
the
proof
Calgary
right
now
is
one
of
the
most
livable
cities
in
the
world.
It's
a
rating
Mr
speaker
and
it
is
in
fact
it's
75
percent
worth
of
the
Venture.
Capital
deals
have
happened
right
in
Calgary.
That's
almost
a
half
a
billion
dollars
this
year,
Mr
Speaker
and
that's
a
record.
AK
Mr
Speaker,
given
that
I
have
also
spoken
to
entrepreneurs
in
Silicon
Valley,
who
are
interested
in
expanding
to
Calgary,
creating
more
jobs
for
calgaryens
and
albertans,
and,
given
that
these
companies
require
a
labor
force
with
job
specific
skills,
can
the
minister
of
jobs
please
share
with
this
assembly?
What
programs
Alberta
has
to
train
the
calgarians
to
fill
these
skilled
jobs.
AL
Speaker,
we
all
remember
the
four
years
on
the
end
under
the
NDP,
where
tens
of
thousands
of
businesses
left
Alberta
and
fled
to
other
jurisdictions.
It's
not
like
that.
Now
record
numbers
of
people
are
coming
to
live
here
in
Alberta,
we're
investing
in
helping
them
get
new
skills
to
succeed,
600
million
dollars
through
the
Alberta
work
program,
so
that
albertans
can
find
well-paid
jobs,
171
million
being
invested
to
create
over
10
000
new
post-secondary
seats
in
high
demand
programs.
AK
Mr
Speaker,
given
that
there
is
tremendous
excitement
regarding
the
economic
opportunities
in
Calgary
and
Alberta,
and
given
that
this
government
has
been
talking
about
the
renewed
Alberta
Advantage
can
the
same
Minister.
Please
inform
this
assembly
what
the
renewed
Alberta
Advantage
will
mean
for
my
constituents
in
Calgary
Mr
Speaker
to
you
and
through
you
to
all
my
colleagues
and
constituents,
Merry
Christmas
The.
AL
Mr
Speaker
will
be
a
Merry
Christmas
that
they
come
out
to
Alberta,
that's
because
they'll
say
14.8
billion
dollars
compared
to
other
jurisdictions
in
Canada,
just
on
taxes,
Mr
Speaker.
We
have
low
taxes,
but
there's
so
much
more.
We
have
low
taxes,
no
sales
tax,
a
business
friendly
government
and
the
renewed
Alberta
Advantage
is
so
much
more
Mr
Speaker
it's
it's
a
livable,
affordable,
vibrant
City,
like
Calgary
and
Edmonton.
It's
a
booming
Tech
sector.
It's
world-class
University!
It's
over
a
hundred
thousand
job
opportunities
right
now
here
in
Alberta,
Mr
Speaker.
AL
AM
Mr
Speaker
schools
in
my
community
are
using
libraries
staff
rooms
and
hallways
as
makeshift
classrooms.
60
students
packed
into
one
room
divided
by
pylon
students
in
classrooms
so
large,
they
don't
even
know
each
other's
names
by
the
end
of
the
year,
both
Bishop
David,
motuke
and
David
Thomas
King
are
way
over
their
capacity.
Bdm
has
1400
students
when
it
was
built
for
940.
Dtk
is
in
a
similar
situation.
Kids
in
my
neighborhood
are
being
forced
to
take
40-minute
bus
rides
twice
a
day
Minister.
This
is
your
legacy.
Are
you
proud.
AN
Thank
you
for
the
question
and
you
know
we're
we're
addressing
school
classroom.
Enrollment
growth
be
by
providing
additional
funding.
Mr
Speaker
the
members
office
said
they
continue
to
raise
fear,
but
what
we're
actually
doing
is
increasing
the
number
of
schools
we
have.
We
have
actually
built
more
schools
in
three
years
than
they
built
in
four
Mr
Speaker
Mr
Speaker.
A
AM
The
Rosenthal
K
to
six
school
is
a
year
one
priority
for
the
Edmonton
Public
School
Board
Hawks
Ridge
k-6
is
a
year
two
priority.
Given
that
these
schools
would
have
alleviated
the
massive
pressures
our
community
is
seeing
and
in
many
cases
would
have
removed
the
need
for
students
as
young
as
four
years
old
to
be
bust
out
of
their
communities,
and
given
the
minister
repeatedly
uses
the
talking
point
that
Edmonton
Public
didn't
have
a
priority
list,
which
is
simply
not
true.
AM
AN
AN
Can't
help
it
Mr
Speaker.
If
the
members
or
the
school
divisions
themselves,
don't
prioritize
schools
in
growing
areas
and
Mr
Speaker
I
can
tell
the
members
opposite
that
I
have
spoken
with
Edmonton
Public,
School,
Division
and
they're
happy
now
that
they
understand
the
process
more
fully.
The
order
order.
AM
Foreign
Mr
Speaker
that
under
the
NDP
government
we
saw
60
schools
a
year
built
compared
to
the
Dismal
record
of
this
UCP
government
60
schools.
Over
four
years,
I
saw
the
building
of
David
Thomas
King
Bishop
David
motuke
Michael,
fair,
just
to
name
a
few
in
my
community,
but
given
that
this
Minister
can't
even
be
bothered
to
properly
fund
the
schools
that
are
already
built,
let
alone
fund
the
desperately
needed
schools
across
my
community
and
across
the
province
forcing
these
projects
back
a
minimum.
Four
to
six
years
to
the
minister.
AN
AN
AD
I've
decided
to
help
my
friend,
the
minister
of
service,
Alberta,
red
tape,
reduction
fulfill
the
terms
of
the
premier's
Mandate
letter.
The
premier
recently
imposed
a
job-killing
sovereignty
act
on
albertans,
opposed
by
the
Calgary
Chamber
of
Commerce
municipalities,
indigenous
communities
and
so
many
more,
which
means
the
ACT
will
be
bound
in
litigation
and
force
this
government
to
use
regulation
to
compel
compliance
with
their
decrees.
Can
the
minister
of
red
tape
explain
how
using
extra
regulations
to
carry
out
the
premier's
demand
is
not
red
tape
and
will
he
do
his
job
and
remove
this
red
tape?
AO
Mr
Speaker
I
always
appreciate
a
question
from
the
opposition.
Unfortunately,
in
this
case
they're
using
it
to
disguise
the
fact
that
in
2011
to
2011
their
leader,
the
opposition
said
and
I
quote.
Sometimes
public
interest
is
better
served
by
limiting
the
profitability
of
that
business,
unquote,
Mr,
Speaker
and
then
the
leader
of
the
opposition
has
the
audacity
in
2015
to
support
that
by
raising
taxes
on
everything
that
moved,
including
corporations
and
proceeded
to
chase
a
hundred
billion
dollars
worth
of
investment
out
of
this
province.
Shame
on
them,
The.
AD
Given
that
the
next
step
to
this
premier's
agenda
is
a
massive
expansion
of
bureaucracy,
spending
regulation
and
red
tape,
that
comes
with
hijacking
the
pension
plans
of
albertans
against
their
wills,
and
given
the
premier
plans
to
use
pensions
of
albertans
to
purchase
herself
a
police
force
that
albertans
also
oppose,
which
will
result
in
another.
Massive
expansion
of
bureaucracy,
cost
and
red
tape,
given
at
an
additional
being
overwhelmingly
opposed
by
albertans.
An
Alberta
pension
plan
and
Alberta
police
force
will
impose
countless
layers
of
red
tape
and
albertans.
AO
Mr
Speaker,
you
have
to
forgive
The
Honorable
member,
because
they've
only
got
two
tools
in
their
toolbox.
One
is
taxes
and
the
other
is
regulation.
Mr
Speaker.
We
saw
that
in
2015,
when
companies
like
shell
and
Conoco
Phillips
fled
the
province
because
of
the
Socialist
ideologies.
Mr
Speaker
I'm,
proud
to
report
that
our
plan
is
working.
We
cut
taxes,
reduced
tape
and
jobs
at
investment
is
coming
back
to
the
province
just
like
we
said
it
would.
AD
Trifecta
bad
ideas
generated
by
this
Premier
is
the
idea
of
an
Alberta
Revenue
Agency
that
will
cost
Millions
massively
expand
the
bureaucracy,
with
the
only
benefit
being
that
albertans
will
now
get
to
fill
out.
Two
two
tax
forms,
but,
given
that
asking
albertans
to
fill
out
their
taxes
twice,
is
the
very
definition
of
harmful
red
tape.
AC
Minister
of
Finance
and
Mr
Speaker.
We
have
two
case
studies
here
in
this
house:
the
members
opposite
when
they
were
in
government,
raised
taxes
on
everything
that
moved
Mr
Speaker.
They
added
regulatory
burden
and
red
tape,
sent
tens
of
thousands
of
jobs
packing
and
Perpetual
deficits.
We
have
deregulated
Mr
Speaker,
we've
cut
taxes,
we've
Minister
of
Finance
Mr
Speaker.
We
have
trimmed
regulations,
we've
reduced
taxes,
created
a
competitive
business
environment,
we're
leading
the
nation
in
economic
growth,
creating
tens
of
thousands
of
jobs,
and
we
have
a
balanced
budget.
The.
AP
Mr
Speaker
provincial
road
construction
projects
are
crucial
to
allow
our
economy
to
grow
and
to
help
albertans
drive
to
work
and
to
get
home
safely.
My
riding
in
Northern
Alberta
is
home
to
hard-working
families,
difficult
terrain
and
trillions
of
dollars
worth
of
resource
wealth.
Can
the
minister
of
transportation
and
economic
corridors
comment
on
his
commitment
to
build
Highway,
686
and
other
economic
corridors?
The.
C
Economic
corridors.
Thank
you
very
much.
Mr
Speaker
and
it's
a
great
question
from
the
member
from
Lesser
Slave
Lake.
We
are
working
with
industry,
Mr,
Speaker
and
created
a
ministerial
steering
committee
to
expand
economic
Corridor,
especially
in
Northern
Alberta
will
be
developing
an
economic
Corridor
along
686
will
be
a
between
Fort
McMurray
and
the
northeastern
part
of
the
province.
AP
Thank
you
to
the
minister
Mr
Speaker,
given
that
provincial
construction
projects
support
jobs,
improve
our
quality
of
life
and
build
assets
at
last
Generations.
Can
the
same
Minister
comment
on
how
he
plans
to
prioritize
needed
projects
across
our
Province,
especially
since
the
NDP
neglected
so
much
of
Alberta
during
their
disastrous
four
years
in
government
The.
P
C
A
sequel
for
another
four
years
would
be
even
worse
than
the
original.
In
the
first
year,
the
NDP
Alberta
lost
nearly
17
000
jobs,
Mr
Speaker,
but
the
NDP
could
actually
help
Alberta
there's
talk
that
the
NDP
is
starting
to
Buck
against
their
liberal
Coalition
deal
in
Ottawa,
so
I
do
have
a
Christmas
wish
for
the
NDP
Mr
Speaker
break
your
2025
agreement
with
the
Trudeau
liberals,
help
albertans
call
a
federal
election.
AP
Mr
Speaker,
giving
up
failed,
NDP,
restrictive
contract
arrangement
to
BC
has
seen
a
work
stoppage
at
the
Cowichan
District
Hospital
in
Duncan,
BC
and
given
that
was
after
an
indigenous
contracting
company,
said
it
was
a
denied
a
permit
to
continue
work
due
to
the
end
and
NDP
rule
over
union
membership.
And
given
that
my
riding
the
Lesser
Slave
Lake,
has
the
highest
indigenous
population
out
of
any
constituency
in
Alberta,
can
the
same
Minister
ensure
albertans
that
NDP
style,
pro-big
Union
boss
policies
won't
delay
projects
here
in
Alberta,
The.
C
Honorable
minister
of
Transportation,
Mr
Speaker,
the
NDP
care
more
about
their
big
union
bosses
than
Alberta
families
and
Alberta
workers,
and
we
all
know
the
NDP
would
bring
in
socialist
procurement
for
provincial
construction
projects,
creating
labor
unrest,
increasing
delays
and
cost
overruns,
and
the
NDP,
as
a
member
mentioned,
have
already
used
it
to
kick
out
indigenous
workers
from
the
cowington
Regional
Hospital
project
in
BC,
but
Mr
Speaker.
We
will
always
stand
up
against
NDP,
labor
Wars
and,
to
paraphrase
a
TV,
show
Yellowstone.
We
are
the
opposite
of
socialist
procurement.
B
V
Speaker
in
our
Criminal
Justice
System,
there
are
those
who
are
often
left
voiceless,
the
victims
of
crime,
the
very
people
who
have
experienced
unspeakable
harm
and
Trauma
the
ones
who
need
our
sport.
The
most
victim
Services
agencies
have
stepped
in,
advocating
for
and
supporting
the
needs
of
victims
of
crime.
Yet
this
government
is
planning
to
remove
the
voices
of
victims
of
crime.
It
is
another
Folly.
In
this
government's
approach
to
the
justice
system.
V
The
UCP
government
also
already
funneled
money
out
of
victims
of
crime
fund
and
failed
to
keep
funding
for
legal
aid
in
step
with
inflation.
Just
last
night,
the
government
quashed
an
amendment
to
the
police
act,
which
would
have
enshrined
the
trauma
and
From
perspective
into
policing
principles
in
our
Province,
helping
to
protect
the
dignity
and
well-being
of
victims.
Now
they
are
going
to
centralize
victim
support
services
without
consulting
municipalities,
our
victim
support
service
organizations.
We
have
already
seen
the
devastating
failure
of
centralized
EMS
dispatch.
V
Now
they
want
to
introduce
a
new
model
of
victim
Services,
which
fails
to
take
into
consideration.
Local
interests
are
establish
relationship.
My
colleagues
and
I
have
heard
from
victim
Services
across
the
province
opposing
these
changes
to
them.
We
say
we
hear
you
an
NDP
government
believes
in
the
fundamental
importance
of
victim
Services
who
will
support
the
existing
service
providers
and
expand
their
competencies
to
the
victims
of
crime.
We
stand
with
you.
AQ
Thank
you,

am
presenting
to
you
a
vital
petition.

1982

fight
the

report.
M
Karen,
proud
to
rise
today
to
request
leave
to
introduce
Bill,
205
official
sport
of
Alberta
act.
Our
team
has
been
laying
the
necessary
groundwork
to
recognize
rodeo
in
its
rightful
place,
as
the
official
sport
for
Alberta
I
believe,
including
Chuckwagon.
Races
is
essential
for
rodeo
and
Chuckwagon.
Races
are
quality,
family
entertainment.
These
activities
are
wholesome
family,
oriented
and
important
pillar
of
our
cultural
foundation
in
rural
Alberta,
Mr,
Speaker
I
believe
all
Alberta
families
should
have
the
opportunity
to
attend
Alberta
rodeos
and
create
these
special
memories
that
will
last
forever.

first

agree
to
the
motion
for
first
reading?
If
so,
please
say
aye
any
opposed.
Please
say
no,
my
opinion.
The
eyes
have
it
that
bill.
That
motion
is
ordered
and
so
carried.
V
During
this
time,
albertans
will
be
protected.
It
will
give
the
government
time
to
develop
changes
to
make
premiums
more
sustainable,
more
affordable
for
albertans,
given
the
changing
views
of
the
premium
at
the
appropriate
time,

will
seek
unanimous
consent
to
pass
this
legislation
today

freeze

one
year
from

called,
it
was
clearly
heard
from
the
member
from
Edmonton
Rutherford
the
following:
why
do
you
hate
health
care
workers,
Mr
Speaker,
making
such
an
allegation
at
the
premier?
U
While
she
was
answering
your
question
in
question
period?
Doing
what
her
job
is
here,
responding
to
the
concerns
of
the
members
opposite,
that
kind
of
language
is
unnecessary.
It's
unparliamentary
and
frankly,
it's
totally
disrespectful
and
you
cannot
make
those
kinds
of
allegations
against
another
member
in
this
chamber.
So
I
would
ask
that
that
member
himself
apologize
for
using
such
language.
It's
not
the
first
time
that
such
that
this
member
has
used
such
language
in
this
chamber.
V
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker,
while
government
house
leader
was
arguing
this
point
of
order.
He
also
used
the
words
that
member
habitually
walks
and
makes
that
kind
of
comments.
I
think
it's
a
matter
of
debate
and
reason.
It's
a
matter
of
debate
that
we
do
know
the
premier
record.
That
Premier
is
on
racket
for
saying
that
AHS
healthcare
workers
have
manufactured
some
of
these
crises.
So
based
on
those
comments,
I
think
this
is
clearly
a
matter
of
debate
that
we
don't
see
that
healthcare
workers
are
liked
much
by
that
government
side
of
the
Premier.
B
Any
other
meaningful
submissions
like
to
make
two
points
this
afternoon.
First
and
foremost
during
that
particular
exchange,
The
Honorable
member
friends,
Rutherford,
was
called
the
order,
and
the
speaker
noted
that
on
parliamentary
language,
either
on
or
off
the
Record
was
still
on
parliamentary
I'd,
also
like
to
point
The
Honorable
member
for
Edmonton
Rutherford.
While
he's
doing
some
Christmas
reading
this
weekend
that
he
might
take
out
rules
of
decorum
and
Order
House
of
Commons
procedures
in
practice,
page
610,
chapter
13.
B
members
are
up
less
to
engage
in
heated
exchange
and
personal
attacks
when
their
comments
are
directed
to
the
chair
rather
than
another
member.
If
a
member
directs
remarks
to
another
member
and
not
the
speaker,
the
member
will
be
called
to
order
and
may
be
asked
to
rephrase
the
remarks
and
on
this
occasion
apologize
and
I'm
sure
you'll
be
happy
to
do
it.
On
his
behalf.
B
U
You
Mr
Speaker
I
Rise,
to
request
unanimous
consent
to
waive
standing
order,
8-2
and
standing
order
9-1
in
order
to
revert
to
private
members
business,
so
the
assembly
May
debate,
third
reading
of
Bill
202,
the
Alberta
personal
income
tax
and
charitable
and
other
gifts,
Amendment
act
moved
by
The,
Honorable
member
from
Peace,
River
and
Mensch.
My
good
friend
behind
me
here.
B
The
Honorable
government
house
leader
has
requested
unanimous
consent
to
wave
standing
order
8-2
and
proceed
immediately
to
debate
for
third
reading
on
private
members.
Motion
Bill
201
I
will
ask
only
one
question:
is
there
any
oh
correction,
202
202
I
will
ask
only
one
question:
is
there
anyone
opposed
to
providing
unanimous
consent?
If
so
indicate
now,
United's
consent
is
granted.
AS
For
Peace
River
well,
thank
you,
Mr
Speaker,
and
thank
you
to
the
chamber
for
unanimous
consent,
I
Rise
to
move
third
reading
of
Bill
202,
the
Alberta
personal
income,
tax,
charitable
and
other
gifts.
Amendment
act,
2022..
It's
an
important
piece
of
legislation:
Mr
Speaker!
It
is
probably
one
of
the
most
impactful
pieces
of
private
members
legislation
that
I've
seen
I'm
very,
very
proud
to
be
working
with
my
colleagues
on
both
sides
of
the
aisle
I'm
very
proud
to
be
working
with
a
number
of
different
charities.
AS
I
visited
food
banks,
the
Salvation
Army,
the
kids,
Cancer
Care,
Foundation,
Alberta,
Cancer
Foundation
fears
not
love
an
emergency
center
amongst
other
services
in
Calgary
for
vulnerable
women,
Alberta
Children's
Hospital,
the
stullery
hospital,
the
Canadian
National
Institute
for
the
blind,
Canadian
Islamic
Center,
any
number
of
different
mosques,
a
number
of
different
church
and
religious
organizations,
the
Calgary
Health
Foundation
the
center
or
the
the
Calgary
Volunteer
organization.
The
Edmonton
volunteer
organization,
upon
hundreds
of
others
that
I
have
yet
to
speak
to
that
I
know,
are
interested.
AS
The
support
for
this
bill
is
Broad
widespread
and
deep
within
the
charitable
sector.
It's
deep
outside
of
the
charitable
sector,
with
anyone
who
donates,
which
is
disproportionately
a
high
number
of
albertans
compared
to
other
provinces
and
we're
incredibly
proud
of
our
charitable
history
and
Heritage
in
Alberta
and
I'm,
very
proud
that
this
piece
of
legislation
will
get
passed.
God
willing,
by
the
end
of
this
very
short
debate
with
unanimous
consent.
Again,
as
it's
been
through
the
first
readings
in
the
committee
of
the
whole.
AS
So
with
that
and
underscoring
the
importance
of
supporting
a
charitable
sector,
giving
a
break
to
average
families
and
their
donations
towards
those
Charities
I
ask
every
member
to
support
this
and
to
move
forward
in
Alberta's,
great
tradition
of
charitable,
giving
and
throughout
philanthropy.
Thank
you.
I
W
This
is
an
a
stream
of
income,
but
it's
not
the
only
stream
of
income
by
any
means
for
any
number
of
the
hundreds
of
there's
really
thousands
of
nonprofits
and
Charities
here
in
the
province,
and
so
by
passing.
This
it'll
be
a
way
by
which
they
can
enhance
one
element
of
their
fundraising
stream,
which
is
charitable
donations,
and
but
it
knows,
should
in
no
way
somehow
allow
or
think
that
the
government
has
license
to
cut
any
other
grants
or
benefits
that
non-profits
and
Charities
need
to
survive
and
provide
essential
service
to
albertans.
W
W
If
it
passes
and
we
get
that
information
into
people's
hands,
then
I
think
will
really
help
the
charitable
sector
a
lot
so
an
education
program
that
will
accompany
Bill
202.
That
would
be
my
strong
suggestion
and
yeah.
You
know
what
I've
Got
a
Feeling.
Maybe
the
government
will
do
that
too.
The
third
thing
is
to
again
encourage
other
jurisdictions,
especially
the
federal
government,
to
look
to
increasing
the
or
changing
the
tax
return
for
a
charitable
donation
and
increasing,
like
we
are
doing
here
in
the
province
of
Alberta
I.
W
Think
we're
setting
a
good
example
for
other
jurisdictions,
and
certainly
it
would
benefit
albertans
and
Canadians
in
general,
if
the
federal
government
looked
at
reforming
charitable
donations
and
enhancing
the
return
that
a
a
donor
could
enjoy
if
they
donate
to
a
charity.
So
those
are
my
three
things
that
I
would
like
to
see
and
I'm
certainly
happy
to
support
this
bill
and
don't
forget,
let's
just
all
just
remember
what
we
just
did
here,
which
was
to
give
unanimous
consent
for
a
bill
to
move
forward.
W
I
AE
I
AT
V
Thank
you
Mr
Speaker,
since
there
is
a
very
collaborative
environment
going
on
in
this
house
where,
in
the
spirit
of
collaboration,
good
bills,
good
ideas
are
getting
past.
I
would
also
like
to
seek
unanimous
consent
of
the
legislature
to
wave
standing
order,
A2
and
standing
order
9-1
to
proceed
to
private
member
business
in
order
to
consider
a
bill.
Two
or
six
Insurance
private
passenger
vehicle
premium,
Amendment
act
2022
at
second
reading
and
I
hope
that
governments,
members
and
all
members
of
this
legislative
assembly
will
consider
this
unanimous
consent.
I
AI
AI
AI
So,
for
example,
for
those
that
find
RR
is
a
little
complicated
if
it's
capped
at
13.5
cents.
For
for
a
consumer
on
an
rro-
and
it
goes
up
to-
let's
say
you
know
even
15
cents,
it's
a
two
cent
difference
on
your
kilowatts,
then
you're,
looking
at
all
of
that
having
to
be
accumulated
over
a
period
of
time
now,
I
appreciate
what
the
government's
doing
is
trying
to
bring
down
the
costs
for
for
albertans
over
the
summer,
Peak
or
sorry,
the
winter
Peak,
when
typically
the
rates
may
be
high.
AI
However,
we've
seen
High
rates
in
the
summer
when
we
hit
severe
heat
waves,
but
the
issue
that
I
have
is
that
I
don't
know
if
consumers
are
going
to
be
aware
of
this
cap
and
then
this
need
to
have
to
pay
it
back.
So
what
we
typically
see
on
a
bill,
let's,
let's
think
about
like
if
you
have
a
cable
bill
and
you
only
pay
a
percentage
of
your
cable.
AI
AI
That
is
ensuring
that
the
consumer
is
aware
that
they're
going
to
have
to
pay
the
difference
back
and
what
concerns
me
about
the
fact:
that's
not
in
the
legislation
and
that
there
isn't
a
requirement
under
this
cap
to
notify
the
consumer
is
one.
The
government
has
a
responsibility
for
consumer
protection
and
they
should
be
making
sure
that
any
consumer
that
is
accessing
an
RR
rro
through
a
retailer
is
aware
that
this
is
the
agreement
and
two.
AI
AI
I
would
have
really
appreciated
the
minister
being
able
to
speak
to
the
fact
that
there's
going
to
be
a
requirement
or
a
mechanism
in
talking
to
these
retailers
that
they're
willing
to
create
some
form
of
mechanism
that
ensures
that
albertans
are
aware
what
they're
actually
accumulating
to
have
to
pay
back
right.
So
you
know-
maybe
maybe
it's
ten
dollars
a
month.
So
over
those
three
months,
they're
gonna
have
to
pay
thirty
dollars
back,
come
April
1st,
and
so
this
is
how
it
will
be.
AI
AI
Will
the
payments
all
of
a
sudden
it's
going
to
be
a
huge
payment
in
April,
or
how
will
it
look
to
ensure
that
those
albertans
that
are
going
to
be
on
this?
This
payment
program,
I,
would
say,
are
not
actually
going
to
be
in
more
financial
crisis,
come
April
than
they
would
be
if
they
were
having
to
have
to
pay
a
higher
rate
over
the
next
three
months.
AI
So
there
is
some
accountability.
That
I
would
like
to
hear
from
the
minister
about
to
ensure
that
albertans
do
have
the
notification
that
they
are
educated
on,
how
the
system
will
work,
that
they
know
that
they're
going
to
have
to
pay
this
percentage
back
and
that
it's
accumulated
over
a
period
of
time
and
their
bills
reflect
that
accumulation,
because
if
they
don't
then
one
day,
there's
a
surprise
bill
in
the
mail
that
says
you
owe
this
amount
of
money.
AI
It's
no
different
than
people
with
cell
phones
when
all
of
a
sudden
they
go
over
their
data
and
then
they
get
this
huge
bill
at
the
end
of
the
month
where
they're
like,
oh,
my
goodness,
I
now
have
a
hundred
dollar
phone
bill,
but
my
bill
should
only
be
fifty
dollars
because
I
did
this
huge
overage
on
my
data.
Well,
this
is
the
same
thing.
AI
AI
AI
AV
Risen,
thank
you
very
much
Mr
Speaker
and
it's
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
rise
and
address
bill
number
two
and
of
course,
as
many
of
the
members
on
this
side
of
the
house,
have
gotten
up
and
and
actually
described
some
of
the
flaws
with
this
particular
bill.
But
you
know:
let's
go
back
down
memory,
lane
I,
remember
being
in
this
house
last
March
last
February
I
believe
it
was,
and
we
were
at
that
point.
AV
and
at
that
time,
Mr
Speaker
I
got
up
in
this
house
and
I
asked
the
current
minister
of
service
Alberta
and
red
tape
reduction.
Who
was
the
minister
of
natural
gas
at
the
time?
What
are
you
going
to
do
about
this
and
his
answer
is
we're
absolutely
nothing?
Absolutely
nothing!
That's
what
he
said:
we're
not
going
to
do
anything
right.
AT
AF
AV
Normal
member
has
a
floor
very
much
Mr
Speaker,
you
know
you,
the
the
the
record.
Is
there
the
Hansard
is
there.
The
question
was
asked
and
the
the
minister
at
the
time
said
we're
not
going
to
do
anything
about
this.
You
know
why
you
know
why
Mr
Speaker,
because
the
members
on
the
other
side
of
the
house
they
refuse.
I
AV
AV
AV
AV
AO
It
thank
you
thank
you,
Mr
Speaker
and
thank
you
John
and
The
Honorable
member
for
accepting
my
intervention.
I
would
like
to
clarify
the
record
only
because
he
was
talking
schemes.
You
know
what,
when
were
the
greatest
schemes
that
had
been
perpetrated
on
the
Alberta
public
was
when
the
NDP
spent
7.5
billion
dollars
on
transmission
fees.
Now
allow
me
to
put
that
in
perspective
Mr
Speaker.
In
2020
we
spent
100
million
dollars
on
transmission
and
in
2021
we
spent
zero
dollars
on
transmission.
AO
So
compare
that
to
the
seven
and
a
half
billion
dollars
they
spent
on
four
years.
So
you
want
to
know
why
electricity
prices
are
high.
Just
look
at
the
NDP.
The
best
thing
that
we
can
do
to
keep
electricity
prices
low
is
to
keep
them
away
from
the
electricity
grid
and
make
sure
they
never
get
into
government.
Again,
that's
the
best
thing
we
can
do
for
cheap
electricity
prices,
Mr
Speaker.
AV
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker,
Again,
full
of
hot
air.
You
know
I
understand
the
minister
of
natural
gas
is
going
to
be
full
of
hot
air,
not
addressing
the
actual
piece
of
legislation
that
we
have
in
front
of
us,
going
back
into
the
history
on
decisions
that
were
made
by
previous
Progressive
conservative
governments
that
actually
got
us
in
that
mess.
AV
V
Ahead
Mrs,
thank
you
to
my
colleague
for
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
crack.
The
record.
I
was
surprised
how
elephant
formed
the
minister
is.
Transmission
was
a
heart
issue
in
2009
and
at
that
time,
leader
of
the
NDP
honorable
Brian
Mason
told
them
that
if
they
will
invest
like
that,
at
the
request
of
their
friends
and
Insiders
coming
generation
of
Alberton
will
pay
for
these
cars.
In
the
last
transmission
line
they
approved
were
around
2012-13.
V
Then
prime
minister
Harper
closed
down,
12
out
of
18
plants,
Coal
Fire
plant,
without
giving
them
any
money
whatsoever
and
all
those
bad
decisions
of
conservatives
in
Alberta
and
in
federal
government
are
making
electricity
costs
unaffordable,
and
here
we
have
a
government
that
refuses
to
act
at
all.
Thank
you.
AV
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker,
and
thank
you
to
the
member
from
Calgary
Buller
McCall
for
his
intervention
and,
of
course,
and
I
agree
with
him
that
these
are
Pro.
These
are
conservative
policies
that
have
led
us
to
the
point
that,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
they
end
up
making
albertans
have
to
pay
more
because
you
know
Mr
Speaker,
these
conservatives.
They
believe
in
this
outdated
perspective
that
competition
is
going
to
lead
to
lower
prices.
AV
But
oh
Burns
can't
see
it.
Al
Burns
can't
see
it
Mr
Speaker
and
you
know
they
they.
You
know
they
they
get
in
here
and
they're
like
okay,
less
regulation,
less
government
and
what
ends
up
happening.
Albertans
have
to
pay
more
at
the
end
of
the
day,
because
there's
a
flaw
in
the
way
that
they
approach
it
Mr
Speaker
and
you
know
they
get
up
and
they
talk
about
how
yeah
they're
they're
in
the
best
interest
of
albertans
but
yet
albertans
having
to
pay
30
more
40
percent.
More.
AV
A
death
spiral.
Mr
Speaker.
That's
not
that's
not
me,
saying
it
Mr
Speaker!
This
is
again
I
I'll
I'll
share
with
you
all
it's
the
University
of
Calgary
Economist,
Blake
Shafer,
who
called
this
paid
this
payday
loan
scheme
a
death
spiral.
It
would
leave
a
group
of
albertans
holding
the
bag
on
a
group
of
potential
toxic
loans,
so
the
members
on
the
other
side
of
the
house
they
desperately
desperately
need
to
take
this
bill
back.
AV
Take
it
back.
Please
I'm,
begging
you
on
behalf
of
albertans,
to
take
this
payday
loan
scheme
back
to
the
cabinet
and
make
them
revisit
it
and
make
sure
that
they
come
back
with
something
that's
actually
going
to
help
out
burdens,
because
this
thing
it's
it's,
it
is
so
it's
a
death
spiral,
my
goodness,
my
goodness,
and
to
be
clear.
Not
all
albertans
can
get
off
the
the
rate
regulation
option.
AV
You
know
so
Mr
Speaker
I
would
accept
the
intervention
on
behalf
of
the
minister
of
service
Alberta
and
red
tape
reduction,
but
after
his
last
Intervention,
which
added
absolutely
nothing
to
the
debate,
I'm
not
going
to
accept
another
intervention
on
his
behalf.
Okay,
so
those
holding
these
toxic
loans
will
pay
more
more
and
more
at
the
end
of
the
month
and,
of
course,
and
people
will
flee
and
are
most
likely
to
leave
albertans
in
a
less
beneficial
place
than
they
were
before.
So.
AV
Second,
second,
you
know
the
the
members
on
the
other
side
of
the
other
of
the
house.
You
know
they're
gladly,
welcome
to
get
up
and
speak
to
this
particular
Bill
if
they
would
like
to
instead
of
heckling
me
from
the
other
side
over
there,
while
I
contribute
to
the
debate,
Mr
Speaker,
so
they're
welcome
to
get
up
and
speak
to
it
if
they
like,
but
you
know,
I
would
appreciate
having
my
opportunity
to
actually
speak
to
it.
Second,
this
signature
affordability
measure
the
100
a
month.
Payments
actually
leaves
out
2
million
albertans.
AV
It's
deeply
unfair
that
someone
working
full-time
on
minimum
wage
gets
nothing.
You
know.
So
you
know
the
a
lot
of
the
talk
on
that
side
of
the
house.
They're
talking
about
affordability,
okay
and
we've
already
saw
a
scene
in
in
question
period,
Mr
Speaker,
that
when
addressing
the
whole
issue
of
affordability,
they
have
impacted
the
most
vulnerable
people
in
our
innings.
V
23
I'm
just
trying
to
get
the
right
section
which
says
that
members
speaking
in
the
house
who
has
the
floor
given
by
you,
have
the
right
to
speak,
uninterrupted
what
I'm
seeing
here
is
that
so
much
Interruption
coming
from
that
side,
so
I
ask
you
to
intervene
and
make
sure
that
member
can
speak
what
he
wants
to
share
and
contribute
to
this
debate.
And
if
any
member
on
the
other
side
wants
to
speak,
they
have
every
right
to
do
so.
So
they
can
speak
at
their
time.
AT
I
Thank
you,
honorable
members,
we
are
so
close
to
getting
some
good
work
done
here
this
afternoon
and
I
do
enjoy
the
Lively
debates.
I
would
encourage
all
members
that
if
they
have
something
to
add
to
debate,
you
take
the
time
to
stand,
add
debate,
so
we
can
all
hear
and
enjoy.
The
wisdom
that
you
choose
to
share.
I.
Do
not
find
this
at
a
point
of
order
at
this
time,
but
I
do
caution
all
members
that
we
do
want
to
encourage
Lively
party
debate
and
respect
in
this
house.
AV
You
very
much
Mr,
Speaker
I,
appreciate
it.
So,
as
I
was
saying,
it's
deeply
unfair
that
someone
who's
working
full-time
on
minimum
wage
gets
absolutely
nothing
by
the
passing
of
this
particular
bill
or
a
student
who
is
paying
higher
tuition
fees.
High
student
loan
costs
again
gets
absolutely
nothing
from
this
here
government
right
they
like
to
get
up,
especially
during
question
period
and,
and
you
know,
scream
from
the
top
of
their
lungs.
How
they're
the
best
thing
since
sliced
bread.
AV
AV
So
here
we
have
yet
two
examples:
Mr
Speaker
someone
working
full-time
students
who
are
paying
higher
tuition
fees
and
higher
student
loan
costs,
and
yet
they're
not
going
to
see
any
benefit
from
from
this
particular
bill.
We
all
know
tons
of
albertans
who
are
deeply
disappointed
that
they
deserve
an
answer
for
why
they
were
left
out.
AV
They
changed
the
payment
date,
Mr
Speaker,
which
actually
led
to
people
not
being
being
able
to
make
it
to
the
end
of
the
month
and
we're
talking
about
the
most
vulnerable
people,
bad
decision,
Mr,
Speaker
bad
decision
that
they
have
yet
to
apologize,
for
they
have
yet
to
apologize
for
this
very
bad
decision
that
had
drastic
effects
on
the
lives
of
many
people.
Here
in
the
province
of
Alberta,
you
know
the
the
member
from
Saint
Albert
has
got
up
multiple
times
and
demonstrated
with
emails
and
letters
that
she's
received
personally
I've
also
received
them.
AV
You
know
the
the
fact
that
they've
decided
to
do
that
Mr
Mr
Speaker,
it
was
absolutely
cruel.
It
didn't
need
to
be
done.
It
didn't
need
to
be
done.
It
was
the
most
vulnerable
people
here
in
the
province
of
Alberta,
and
you
know
it's
to
me.
It's
heartbreaking,
Mr
Speaker.
It's
heartbreaking
to
see
the
Minister
of
Finance
president
of
Treasury
board,
get
up
in
this
house
day
after
day
and
defend
that
poor
decision
made
by
him
and
the
rest
of
the
cabinet.
AV
AV
But
you
know,
Mr,
Speaker
and
I
know
that,
from
your
perspective,
you
get
to
see
it
each
and
every
day.
Remember
I'm
going
to
finish
in
like
a
couple
minutes,
so
you're
welcome
to
have
the
word
after
me.
If
you
like,
Mr
Speaker,
you
know
you
see
it
from
a
a
different
perspective.
Being
you
know
the
deputy
of
chairs
and,
of
course,
you
see
the
partisanship
and
how
it
is
actually
deteriorating
our
democracy
here
in
this
house
last
night,
we
put
four
amendments
forward.
AV
That
had
to
do
with
intersectionality
anti-racism
and
trauma-informed
practice,
which
made
so
much
sense.
You
know
last
night,
I
had
dinner
with
a
few
constituents,
told
them
all
about
it,
and
they
just
couldn't
believe
that
this
this,
the
UCP,
would
all
vote
against
a
an
amendment
that
would
actually
contribute.
A
AW
Be
clear
nonetheless,
we
this
place
operates
under
a
set
of
rules
called
standing
orders
in
one
of
those
standing
orders
is
numbered.
23
f,
which
says
a
member
shall
be
called
to
order
by
the
speaker
if
the
speaker's
opinion
that
member
debates
any
previous
vote
of
the
assembly,
which
he
was
just
doing
unless
it
is
that
member's
intention
to
move
that
it
be
rescinded.
V
You
Mr
Speaker
I,
think
member
was
referring
to
the
last
night
amendments
in
the
context
that
how
cooperation
has
so
much
decreased
in
this
legislature,
I
think
intention
or
the
context
of
members
comments
are
not
that
he's.
He
falls
in
the
purview
of
the
rule
that
members
cited
I,
don't
think
it's
a
point
of
order.
I
AV
I
X
X
I
Again,
honorable
members
I
just
want
to
extend
a
little
bit
of
caution
or
invitation
to
maybe
remain
focused
on
the
business,
and
today
we
are
on
Bill
2.
The
inflation
release,
statues,
Amendment
act
2022.
So
at
this
point,
I'd
like
to
ask
if
any
members
would
like
to
speak
to
the
bill,
I
see
The
Honorable
memory.
V
V
If
they
become
government,
they
will
cut
ish.
That's
what
I
said
and
that's
exactly
what
this
government
did
as
soon
as
they
become
became.
Government
they
cut
is
some
nothing
to
apologize
for,
that's
their
record.
They
should
apologize
for
cutting
age
benefits.
At
a
time
when
inflation
was
at
its
40-year
high,
they
should
be
ashamed
of
that.
Every
single
one
of
them
who
sported
Cutting
Edge,
benefit
the
indexing
age
benefit.
V
V
Then
we
were
in
government,
we
had
a
five
percent
premium
increase
cap
on
insurance
and
this
government
as
soon
as
they
came
in
government,
this
UCP,
what
they
did.
They
handed
the
pen
to
insurance
industry
removed
the
cap,
and
now
we
are
seeing
30
40
50
and
in
some
cases,
100
percent
increase
in
alberton's
premium
bills,
insurance
premiums,
that's
what
it's
causing
cost
of
living
crisis
in
this
province.
V
V
V
V
Then
find
solutions
that
work
for
Alberta
put
the
rate
cap
back
on
insurance,
make
it
affordable
for
all
burdens.
Put
a
cap
back
on
utilities,
make
utilities
affordable
for
albertans
investigate
why
grocery
prices
are
going
100.
Some
cases,
200
percent,
higher
than
what
the
inflation
is
at
investigate
those
corporations
that
will
make
life
more
affordable
in
just
six
months
before
election.
Handing
albertan
hundred
dollar
up
until
election
will
not
address
cost
of
living
crisis.
V
100
for
those
on
fixed
income
may
still
go
a
long
way,
but
that's
not
the
permanent
solution.
Permanent
solution
will
be
cap,
insurance
rate
cap
utility
list
rate,
lower
tuition
fees,
investigate
grocery
grocery
prices.
That
will
help
us
lower
and
address
the
cost
of
living
crisis.
This
bill
may
help
some,
but
it's
leaving
out
2
million
albertans.
V
I
I
The
Honorable
minister
of
children's
services
on
behalf
of
the
honorable
minister
of
affordability
and
utilities,
has
moved
third
reading
of
Bill
2.
the
inflation
relief
statutes.
Amendment
acts
2022
those
in
favor
of
the
motion
for
third
reading,
please
say
aye,
those
opposed,
please
say
no,
the
eyes
have
it
motion
is
carried
and
so
moved.
AU
I
V
police,
Amendment,
Act
and
I
will
be
speaking
against
us
bill.
You
know,
I
will
give
my
reason
to
do
so.
Basically,
there
are
for
primary
reason
that
we
will
be
speaking
against
the
spell
since
the
murder
of
George
Floyd
conversation
again
around
policing
have
changed
and
murder
of
Joel's
flight
was
not
the
last
one.
V
They
have
raised
serious,
serious
concerns
about
bias
in
policing
across
this
province
across
this
country,
and
when
we
look
at
our
institutions,
we
still
see
indigenous
communities
over
represented
in
our
justice
system.
We
see
black
person
of
color
communities
over
represented
in
our
justice
system
in
number.
One
ask
that
you
will
hear
from
these
communities
is
that
we
should
be
looking
at
policing
from
a
lens
of
intersectionality
from
a
perspective
of
drama-informed
practice
and
from
an
anti-racism
lens.
V
So
what
we
did
we
tried
to
make
make
this
bill
a
bit
better.
We
tried
to
enshrine
those
principles
in
policing
because
that
what
communities
need
from
policing,
because
they're,
what
in
business
people
are
demanding
from
this
government
in
every
government
that
over
policing
should
be
done
from
a
lens
of
intersectionality.
V
From
the
perspective
of
anti-racism
and
drama
informed
practice,
we
have
a
history
of
colonization
here,
so
our
policing
response
need
to
be
well
informed
and
I.
Think
this
government
refused
to
enshrine
such
principle
in
this
legislation.
So
that's
a
concern.
Second
thing:
this
bill
makes
sweeping
changes.
How
police
commission
will
have
now
members
from
the
government
how
there
will
be
new
policing
committees.
V
V
V
V
V
V
V
And
no
wonder
that
when
Premier
went
to
see
3D
sex
after
that
they
released
a
statement
which
I'm
sure
all
members
of
the
government
must
have
seen
that
they
did
not
consult.
They
did
not
consult
on
their
job,
killing
sovereignty
Act.
They
don't
even
know
what
consultation
means.
They
don't
respect.
Treaties.
V
V
V
V
How
they
will
pick
that
one
person
and
again
they
did
not
consult
with
First
Nations?
Is
that
enough
representation
of
frustration,
people
who
have
concerns
about
policing
in
this
province
who
have
shared
those
concerns
who
have
vested
interest
in
making
policing
better
in
this
province,
not
that
they
were
not
consulted.
V
V
V
V
That
will
help
us
deal
with
cases
like
one
in
Calgary
of
conservation
too,
and
not
only
before
when
we
were
asking
then
minister
of
Municipal
Affair
to
act.
They
refused.
They
even
refused
to
make
that
change
so
that
the
people
like
shanju
can
be
held
accountable
in
front
of
the
civilian
oversight
body.
V
Municipalities,
indigenous
communities,
those
who
have
vested
in
Trust
in
the
implementation
of
this
piece
of
legislation
with
so
many
flaws
I,
don't
think
that
we
are
able
to
support
this
legislation,
but
I
do
want
to
say
that
we
absolutely
support
civilian
oversight,
and
should
we
become
the
next
government
who
will
do
better?
Who
will
bring
forward
a
body
a
process
that
will
help
us
read
trust
and
confidence
in
our
law
enforcement?
Thank
you,
Mr,
chair,
thank.
I
With
the
master
honorable
Minister
and
Deputy
premier
like
to
close
debate,
the
novel
minister
of
infrastructure
and
Deputy
Premier
on
behalf
of
the
honorable
minister
of
Public
Safety
and
Emergency
Services,
has
moved
third
reading
of
Bill
6.
The
police
Amendment
act
2022.
Those
in
favor
of
the
motion
for
third
reading,
please
say
aye
those
opposed,
please
say
no
I
believe
the
eyes
have
it.
The
motion
is
carried.
U
U
C
I
AX
So
hello
to
everyone
in
the
assembly
here
today,
I
want
to
just
keep
my

brief,
and
thank

again
for
all
that
you
do
and

when
you
return
to
your

thank
all

Province
forward
with
all
that.
They
do.

AX
AX
I

Thank

If
the
assembly
would
indulge
me
for
a
moment,
I'd
like
to
take
a
minute
and
thank
all
the
members
for
their
participation,
this
fall
session,
the
legislature
I
believe

a
lot
of
good
work
done
on
behalf
of
albertans
and
albertans
are
well
represented
in
this
chamber
on
both
sides
of
the
aisle.

want

thank
you
