Lord,
the
god
of
righteousness
and
Truth
Grant
to
our
King
and
to
his
government,
the
members
of
the
legislative
assembly
and
to
all
in
positions
of
responsibility
the
guidance
of
your
spirit.
May
they
never
leave
the
province
wrongly
through
love
of
power,
desire
to
please
or
unworthy
ideas,
but,
laying
aside
all
private
interest
and
Prejudice,
keep
in
mind
the
responsibility
to
seek
to
improve
the
condition
of
all
honorable
members,
we
will
now
be
led
in
the
singing
of
God
Save,
the
King
by
Ms
Brooklyn
alard.
Please
join
in
the
language
of
your
choice,.
D
Speaker
I
Rise,
to
introduce
to
you
and
through
you
to
the
assembly,
the
students
and
teachers
from
Heritage
Hills,
Elementary,
Mr,
Speaker
Heritage
Hills
is
my
home.
I
live
in
that
neighborhood
and
I
look
forward
to
sending
my
son
Max
to
their
French
immersion
program
in
a
couple
years.
It's
an
amazing
school.
B
E
Well,
Mr
Speaker.
Over
the
past
several
days
we
have
heard
non-stop
hysteria,
both
in
and
out
of
this
house,
as
the
NDP
opposition,
its
leader
and
their
allies
continued
their
desperate
attempt
to
paint
the
Alberta
sovereignty
within
United
Canada
act
as
some
sort
of
undemocratic
power
grab,
threatening
the
democracy
that
somehow
this
act
gives
power
to
Cabinet
to
unilaterally
alter
legislation
behind
closed
doors,
despite
the
fact
that
it
does
not.
E
It
is
a
shameful
display
of
fear-mongering
and
Fabrication
that
albertans
will
remember
well
when
they
see
how
democratically
and
effectively
this
constitutional
Shield
will
be
used
in
the
coming
months
and
years
ahead
to
protect
the
rights
and
Welfare
of
albertans
from
ottawa's,
continuous,
unconstitutional
and
harmful
overreach,
but
Mr
Speaker.
That's
not
why
I'm
standing
today
to
address
my
fellow
elected
members
of
the
of
the
legislature,
you
see
as
unseemly
as
the
NDP
has
acted
these
past
72
hours
voting
against
a
bill.
E
They
hadn't
even
read
making
accusations
and
statements
without
a
shred
of
Truth
and
had
to
be
deleted
from
Twitter.
Despite
it
all
these
sorts
of
antics
and
tactics
were
Better
or
For.
Worse
are
part
of
our
Democratic
process
in
this
legislative
assembly.
The
government
proposes
legislation,
we
debate,
we
argue
and
we
Advocate
our
positions
passionately,
and
then
we
in
this
chamber
each
vote
on
the
bill
as
duly
elected
members
of
the
people
of
Alberta,
and
if
that
vote
passes
with
a
majority
that
bill
becomes
the
binding
and
constitutionally
enforceable
law
of
the
province
of
Alberta.
E
Yesterday,
the
leader
of
the
NDP
opposition
spoke
with
the
media
outside
this
chamber
and
when
told
by
a
reporter
that
prime
minister
Justin
Trudeau
was
taking
no
option
off
the
table,
including
the
potential
of
Mr
Trudeau,
unilaterally
revoking
and
quashing
the
Alberta
sovereignty
within
a
United
Canada
Act.
Should
it
pass
in
this
elected
assembly,
the
NDP
later
stated
and
I
quote
I
think
if
they
revoke
the
act,
that
would
be
the
right
thing
to
do.
E
The
meaning
of
the
NDP
Leader's
words
are
crystal
clear.
This
member
clearly
believes
that
her
dear
friend,
prime
minister,
Justin
Trudeau,
should
unilaterally
quash
and
override
a
law
of
Alberta
because
she
disagrees
with
it
and
I
have
to
say
Mr
Speaker
in
my
lifetime,
I
have
never
heard
a
more
undemocratic
statement
or
thought
uttered
by
an
elected
official
in
this
province,
let
alone
one
who
sees
herself
fit
for
the
office
of
Premier.
It
is
astounding
both
for
its
raw,
undemocratic
meaning
and
its
level
of
pure
hypocrisy.
E
Having
later
realized
the
magnitude
of
her
statement,
this
member
got
up
on
CBC
and
on
Twitter
yesterday
evening
to
deny
she
had
even
said
it
when,
in
fact
she
could
not
have
said
it
more
clearly:
Mr
Speaker
We,
Have
Heard.
This
member
and
caucus
wrongfully
accused
this
government
of
attempting
to
subvert
democracy
and
yet,
in
a
moment
of
pristine,
Clarity,
this
NDP
leader,
let
it
slip
just
how
little
regard
she
has
with
a
very
Alberta
democracy.
E
She
seeks
to
lead
is
that
her
plan,
Mr
Speaker,
when
the
NDP
leader
doesn't
get
her
way
in
this
democratically
elected
assembly?
Will
she
just
call
up
her
good
friend,
Justin
Trudeau
and
her
Federal
party
leader,
jugmeet
Singh,
to
direct
their
coalition
government
to
quash
and
override
the
laws
of
our
land?
What
sort
of
rule
of
law
is
this?
This
member
and
her
party
are
quick
to
dig
up
statements
from
24
months
or
24
years
ago
to
inform
albertans
of
my
alleged
positions
of
today?
F
E
Jug
meet
before
The
Constitution.
This
member
should
apologize
immediately
for
her
laps
of
judgment
and
affirm
her
commitment
to
upholding
the
laws
of
our
Province
whomever
may
have
written
them.
As
for
me,
let
me
be
clear:
I
know:
I'm
not
perfect,
but
I
will
never
apologize
for
defending
albertans
against
Federal
actions
harmful
to
our
Province
I
will
never
foreign.
E
I
will
never
deviate
from
putting
this
province
above
any
Federal
leader.
My
loyalty
is
to
albertans
I
will
accept
their
judgment
of
me
and
this
government,
whatever
that
may
be,
and
I
will
never
call
upon
any
federal
prime
minister
to
override
or
strike
down
a
law
passed
by
this
legislative
assembly,
because
ultimate
betrayal
to
this
assembly
of
the
rule
of
law
and
of
the
millions
of
albertans
we
represent
here.
Albertans
are
a
proud
and
Free
People
We
Are
Not
Mere
subjects
of
politicians
in
Ottawa
able
to
quash
the
laws
of
this
elected
assembly.
E
G
That
statement
was
both
desperate
and
delusional
quote
they
referred
to
them
the
UCP
government.
No
one
in
this
chamber
wants
Ottawa
interfering
with
our
house,
and
the
suggestion
just
now
by
the
premier
is
about
as
real
as
her
phone
call
with
the
Arctic
Winter
Games,
which
we
all
know
was
not
so
much
now.
G
This
week,
the
premier
and
this
government
introduced
a
bill
that
was
so
bad
in
its
intent
and
its
drafting
that
the
Uproar
has
been
immediate
and
Loud
from
every
corner
of
the
province,
not
just
Alberta
NDP
allies,
although
that
number
does
grow,
but
from
everybody
in
the
economy,
from
Business,
Leaders,
Community
leaders
and
most
significantly
many
indigenous
leaders.
This
premier's
bill
creates
deep
economic
uncertainty
across
Alberta.
It
is
doing
that
already
inviting
more
chaos,
cost
and
conflict.
Let's
talk
about.
G
Why,
specifically,
we
know
that
investment
in
economic
growth
depend
on
clear,
fair
and
known
Rules
of
Engagement,
but
this
bill
gives
the
premier
and
her
cabinet
unprecedented
and
Democratic
power
to
change
the
law
unilaterally
without
the
approval
of
the
legislative
assembly
and
without
notice
to
the
albertans
who
rely
on
those
laws,
including
investors.
The
bill
then
restricts
those
albertans
who've
been
hurt
by
the
change
from
challenging
it
with
Draconian
timelines.
It
further
constrains
the
ability
of
the
courts
to
rule
that
any
range
of
actions
under
the
bill
are
unreasonable.
G
Furthermore,
it's
been
argued
by
some
that
asking
the
legislature
to
determine
the
constitutionality
of
a
federal
act
is
in
and
of
itself
unconstitutional,
usurping
of
the
role
of
the
courts.
In
short,
there
are
multiple,
multiple
layers
of
uncertainty,
contradiction
and
illegality
that
could
impact
almost
any
law
in
Alberta,
taken
as
a
whole,
investors
are
saying
no
thanks
in
a
volatile
World.
G
Businesses
must
invest
their
money,
grow
their
companies
and
attract
their
are
workers
to
places
that
are
stable,
where
the
rules
are
reasonable,
where
they're,
transparent,
the
Calgary
Chamber
of
Commerce
and
cap
and
others
have
all
said.
So
you
know
those
NDP
allies,
not
only
that,
but
treaty
Chiefs
have
stated
that
the
introduction
of
this
act
with
zero,
meaningful
consultation
runs
Russia
over
their
treaty
rights.
This
legislature
cannot
scramble
after
the
fact
on
these
kinds
of
matters,
and
many
of
you
over
there
know
that
you
must
withdraw
and
consult.
G
First,
we
are
at
a
pivotal
moment
in
Alberta.
We
need
a
clear
plan
to
recreate,
create
good,
paying
jobs,
build
a
resilient
economy
now
and
for
generations
to
come.
We
need
to
drive
investment
opportunities,
not
drive
away
investors.
My
message
today
to
the
government
is
to
Simply:
withdraw
this
mess
of
a
bill.
Yeah.
H
The
new
premier
and
government
are
working
hard
to
spend
their
disastrous
Bill
one.
We
just
saw
the
premier
try
desperately
again
minutes
ago.
They've
tried
renaming
it.
They've
tried
gaslighting
albertans
by
claiming
that
what
the
bill
says
it
isn't
actually
what
the
bill
says.
One
Deputy
Premier
spent
the
morning
trolling
credible
constitutional
lawyers
about
the
bill,
claiming
they
were
liars
and
wrong
about
the
legislation.
He
then
said
he
may
amend
the
bill,
never
a
good
sign.
The
other
Deputy
Premier
admitted
yesterday.
He
hasn't
even
read
the
bill,
but
said
he
was
briefed
on
it.
H
The
jobs
Minister,
who
called
the
bill
a
bait
and
switch
before
getting
a
cabinet
job
now
says
the
bill
is
great,
but
he
can't
say
why,
but
despite
this
albertans
see
the
bill
for
exactly
what
it
is.
It's
the
job-killing
sovereignty
act,
the
Calgary
Chamber
of
Commerce
and
the
Canadian
Association
of
petroleum
producers
have
spoken
out
about
the
harmful
cause
to
investment,
to
jobs
and
to
our
economic
future.
That's
just
the
tip
of
the
iceberg.
Our
phones
are
ringing
off
the
hook.
People
wanting
to
invest
here
or
with
Investments
already
locked
in
here
are
terrified.
H
They
can't
get
an
audience
with
the
government
and
specifically
with
the
premier,
who
is
more
focused
on
giving
herself
supreme
power,
despite
being
elected
by
one
percent
of
albertans.
I,
want
to
tell
the
people
reaching
out
to
the
albertans,
fearing
for
their
jobs,
for
fearing
for
the
quality
of
life
for
their
kids.
That
Alberta's
NDP
is
here
we're
listening.
We
will
do
everything
in
our
power
to
stop
this
Premier.
I
You
Mr
Speaker,
any
childhood.
Educators
are
the
heartbeat
of
our
child
care
system.
They
provide
high
quality
child
care
for
Albert
and
kids
and
they
provide
peace
of
mindful,
but
in
parents
today
our
government
announced
that
we
are
providing
Early
Childhood
Educators,
with
a
one-time
payment
in
waste
Top-Up
to
help
recruit
and
retain
staff
and
to
help
make
life
more
affordable
for
those
important
albertans.
This
one-time
payment
in
waste
of
represents
an
investment
of
over
174
million
in
federal
and
provincial
funds
through
the
end
of
the
2025-2026
fiscal
year.
Every
dollar
matters
Mr
Speaker.
I
This
fund
will
help
Child
Care
operators
recruit
and
retain
staff
and
help
critical
workers
pay
their
bills
as
we
head
into
the
Christmas
season,
who
will
employed
Early,
Childhood
Educators,
who
claimed
hours
in
October
in
November
of
2022
in
war,
an
average
of
30
hours
plus
week
and
continue
to
work
in
December
will
also
be
eligible
to
receive
a
one-time
payment
of
900,
while
those
averaging
fewer
than
30
hours
per
week
will
be
eligible
for
450
payment.
This
is
a
real
inflation
relief
for
albertans
at
the
most
important
time
of
the
year.
I
This
also
means
a
strong
overall
child
care
system
for
parents
and
families.
Alberta's
economy
has
recovered
recovered
from
the
pandemic,
and
we
are
seeing
now
leading
the
nation
in
job
growth.
A
strong
Child
Care
System
gives
parents
particularly
women,
the
confidence
the
need
to
re-enter
our
force
and
participate
in
our
growing
economy.
I
am
pleased
our
government
is
providing
this
great,
critical
support
and
I'm
proud
to
know.
We
will
continue
to
support
our
early
childhood
Educators
as
they
continue
to
provide
high
quality
Child
Care.
I
J
Strathmore,
thank
you.
Mr
Speaker.
We
have
seen
in
the
past
week
direct
steps
to
ensure
employers
make
responsible
decisions
to
not
discriminate
against
their
workers
with
respect
to
vaccine
mandates.
In
the
same
week,
November
25th,
the
International
Day
for
the
elimination
of
violence
against
women
marks
the
beginning
of
16
days
of
activism
against
gender-based
violence.
Thank
you
to
all
members
of
the
legislature
for
their
commentary
and
to
those
who
are
actively
doing
work
every
single
day
to
change
the
culture.
J
It
seems
only
fitting
that,
while
we
work
to
protect
human
rights
in
the
workplace,
that
it
includes
calls
from
action
from
organizations
and
individuals
for
the
prevention
and
the
elimination
of
gender-based
violence,
these
co-occurring
Endeavors
highlight
the
fact
that
this
mandate
has
the
capacity
to
be
extended
and
leveraged
so
that
organizations
across
all
sectors
are
held
responsible
to
address
instances
of
gender-based
human
rights
violations,
sexual
violence,
domestic
abuse,
harassment
and
coercive
control.
These
issues,
prevention
is
key.
J
Women
are
51
percent
of
the
population
and
in
every
field,
valued
and
resilient,
but
are
at
greater
risk
of
violence
due
to
prevailing
societal
culture.
This
has
a
direct
impact
on
our
economy.
A
cultural
shift
is
necessary
in
order
to
allow
individuals
to
speak
up
and
challenge
the
unabating,
violent
attitudes
and
behaviors
in
our
communities.
All
human
rights
violations,
regardless
of
organization
level
of
government
or
institution
as
they
occur,
continuously
being
swept
under
the
carpet
clean.
Clearly,
we
have
the
strength
to
address
these
issues,
especially
when
it
comes
to
occupational
workplace
safety.
J
K
Mr
Speaker
in
the
last
week,
albertans
have
had
the
opportunity
to
hear
two
fundamentally
different
Visions
for
the
future
of
Alberta.
The
UCP
government
speech
from
the
throne
and
job-killing
sovereignty
act
envisioned
an
Alberta
where
the
premier
and
cabinet
can
unilaterally
amend
provincial
laws
where
citizens
have
severely
curtailed
rights
to
challenge
unjust
government
action
and
where
the
government
will
focus
on
endless
constitutional
bickering
instead
of
on
growing
the
economy
and
fixing
the
Children's
Health
Care
crisis.
K
With
the
help
of
former
ATB
senior
Economist
Todd
Hirsch,
we
will
build
a
resilient
economy
with
good
jobs
that
albertans
can
rely
on
for
Generations,
we'll
release
a
new
investment
framework
which
will
outline
how
we
can
incentivize
private
sector
investment,
pursue
Innovation
and
grow
Alberta
companies.
By
fostering
economic
certainty,
we
will
bring
sustained
action
to
help
families
struggling
to
pay
their
bills,
and
we
will
bring
forward
legislation
that
ensures
Public,
Health
Care
is
protected
and
strengthened,
and
that
establishes
Health
Care
Service
standards.
K
Albertans
can
go
to
www.albertasfuture.ca
to
read
the
full
speech,
Mr
Speaker
I've
heard
from
hundreds
of
albertans
in
the
past
week.
They
don't
see
themselves
reflected
in
this
government's
anti-economy
anti-democracy,
job-killing
sovereignty
act.
They
want
a
government
that
will
bring
stability,
not
chaos.
They
want.
A
government
will
focus
on
growing
the
economy,
not
driving
away
investment.
B
Honorable
members,
prior
to
calling
oral
question
period
this
afternoon,
I'd
like
to
bring
to
your
attention
that
the
green
sheets
of
the
new
standing
orders
pursuant
to
government
motion
nine
effect
of
March
30th
2022,
have
been
placed
on
each
of
your
desks.
Updated
standing
order
packages
will
be
delivered
to
you
in
due
course.
The
time
is
now
1
50
and
that
makes
it
oral
question
period
and
the
leader
of
his
Majesty's,
loyal
opposition,
has
the
call.
G
Opening
up
the
rights
and
interests
of
albertans
is
one
of
our
most
important
jobs
as
elected
officials,
but
how
we
do
that
matters
and
it
matters
when
Business
Leaders
tell
the
government
that
they
got
it
wrong.
Now
the
Calgary
chamber
says
the
sovereignty
act
will
introduce
quote
a
very
significant
element
of
risk
and
uncertainty
to
businesses
in
Alberta.
The
question
is,
then:
why
won't
the
premier
take
the
chamber's
advice,
stop
sync
and
dial
it
back.
E
Mr
Speaker,
we
know
that
the
only
thing
that
is
creating
investor
uncertainty
right
now
is
the
anti-industry
anti-oil
and
gas
policies
of
the
liberal
NDP
Coalition
in
Ottawa.
That
has
chased
over
a
hundred
billion
dollars
of
investment
out
of
our
Province,
and
that
is
the
reason
why
we
need
to
pass
the
Alberta
sovereignty
within
a
United
Canada
Act,
to
draw
a
very
clear
constitutional
line.
E
G
Well,
Mr
Speaker
I'll,
listen
to
investors
when
they
tell
me
they're,
uncertain
and
speaking
of
that,
it's
not
just
the
chamber
cap,
so
Express
concerns.
Yesterday
quote:
we
are
concerned
about
any
government
policy
that
has
the
potential
to
create
uncertainty
for
investors
and
there
will
be
more
so
will
the
premier
admit
that
her
plan
is
more
likely
to
kill
jobs
in
the
oil
patch
than
create
them
and
revoke
her
ridiculous
mess
of
an
act?
E
The
premiere
well
I
know
the
only
thing
that
would
create
investor
uncertainty
is
if
this
opposition
ever
formed
government
again,
in
fact,
when
I
go
back
and
look
at
the
investment
that
fled
this
province
once
they
became
government,
we
sure
don't
want
to
repeat
that
again.
I
just
saw
the
stats.
Actually
we
are
now
at
the
lowest
level
of
unemployment.
G
Businesses
are
seeing
right
now.
The
CEO
of
Avatar
Innovations
in
Calgary
yesterday
said
the
sovereignty
act,
signals
to
International
investors
that
Alberta
is
not
a
safe
place
to
do
business.
He
warned
that
this
plan
risks
Federal
funding
that
energy
companies
need
to
continue
their
efforts
to
create
jobs
and
cut
emissions.
Once
again,
will
the
premier
answer
the
question?
Why
is
she
risking
Alberta's
future
just
to
cater
to
her
far
right,
Fringe
separatist
base?
Stop
it
think
about
burdens.
The
Honorable.
E
The
premiere
you
know,
the
only
thing
that
creates
investor
uncertainty
is
the
kind
of
policies
that
the
members
opposite
brought
in
when
they
were
in
this
chair,
bringing
through
an
emissions
cap
on
the
oil
sands.
Where
do
you
think
the
federal
liberal,
NDP
Coalition
got
that
idea
from
now?
They
want
to
come
through
and
bring
in
a
42
reduction
in
oil
and
gas
emissions,
a
30
reduction
in
fertilizer
emissions?
We
know
that
that
kind
of
emissions
reduction
is
a
de
facto
production
cap.
That
is
not
in
line
with
our
constitution.
G
Well,
Minister
speaker,
in
addition
to
the
serious
damage
this
will
have
on
our
economic
future.
There
are
other
reasons
the
ACT
have
to
be
withdrawn,
including
how
it
runs
over
the
rights
of
indigenous
people.
Yesterday,
the
chiefs
of
treaty
six
said
it
best
quote.
We
believe
that
proposed
Act
is
self-centered.
We
take
this
opportunity
to
remind
albertans
that
we
are
all
treaty
people
and
we
invite
non-indigenous
people
to
join
us
in
opposition
to
this
divisive
proposed
legislation,
Mr
Speaker
we
stand
with
the
Chiefs.
Why
is
the
Premier
ignoring
them.
E
It's
very
clear
in
the
sovereignty
act
that
we
will
respect
indigenous
rights,
respect
treaty
rights
and,
in
fact,
I
think
our
approach
of
economic
to
reconciliation,
lending
out
a
hand
to
work
together
on
major
projects
going
across
our
Province
and
our
country.
That's!
What's
going
to
lead
to
the
best
relationship
with
our
first
Nations
people,
The
Honorable,
the
leader
of
the
opposition,.
G
Foreign
wow
Mr
Speaker,
it
impacts
their
rights.
If
you
introduce
the
bill
before
you
ever
speak
to
the
treaty.
Chiefs
back
in
July,
the
UCP
signed
a
relationship
agreement
between
treaty
six
and
the
Goa
set
out
a
formalized
government-to-government
relationship
that
was
supposed
to
be
based
on
collaboration,
commitment
and
cooperation,
and
yet
when
it
came
to
introducing
the
premier's
flagship
Bill,
the
Chiefs
says
no
one
spoke
to
them,
not
one
phone
call
to
the
premier.
This
is
your
bill.
Why
couldn't
you
pick
up
the
phone?
Why
were
you
not
focused
on
doing
the
honorable?
E
I
think
the
answer
to
the
question
is
right
in
the
legislation,
because
nothing
abrogates
or
derogates
from
anything
in
the
Charter
of
Rights
and
Freedoms
that
protects
the
rights
of
our
indigenous
citizens.
That
section
35
is
very
clear
and
if
the
I'm
surprised
after
all
these
days
that
the
the
member
offices
opposite
hasn't
had
a
chance
to
read
the
the
bill.
Yet
because
it
says
right
in
there
that.
E
G
Well,
that's
a
lovely
future
tense
statement,
Mr
Speaker,
but
the
fact
of
the
matter
is
that
the
premier
has
already
failed
to
respect
the
rights
of
indigenous
people
treaty.
Eight
says
Premier.
Daniel
Smith
is
parliamentary.
Crown
representative,
you
and
your
government
are
in
dishonor
of
treaty
number.
Eight
treaties
are
essential
to
all
people,
including
albertans,
as
with
many
things
related
to
this
bill.
The
premier
is
now
scrambling
after
the
fact
to
consult.
So
why
will
she
not
do
the
right
thing?
Withdraw
the
bill,
do
meaningful
consultation
and
then
consider
reintroducing
it.
B
E
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker,
it's
it's
very
clear
to
me
that
the
that
the
the
the
rule,
the
the
law,
the
the
provisions
we're
setting
out
in
this
act
are
designed
to
make
sure
that
we
are
protecting
the
provincial
rights
that
are
guaranteed
in
the
Constitution.
That
is
what
this
is
about.
It's
section,
92,
92a,
93.,.
B
E
Thank
you,
I
have
a
very
good
relationship
with
First
Nations
when
I
was
in
this
position
before
in
the
legislature,
I
was
the
I.
Was
the
critic
for
indigenous
Affairs
I've
reached
out
to
various
Chiefs
and
various
indigenous
leaders
and
we're
going
to
keep
doing
that
as
we
develop
the
province,
The
Honorable.
G
Come
on
Mr
Speaker,
we
have
heard
from
no
less
than
seven
different
legal
experts,
public
servants
and
constitutional
lawyers
who
confirm
a
simple
truth.
This
bill
gives
the
premier
the
so-called
Henry
VII
power
to
write
laws
behind
closed
doors,
with
zero
input
from
this
assembly.
Now
Mr
Speaker,
it's
parliamentary,
to
give
members
a
chance
to
correct
the
record
so
to
the
premier.
Can
you
tell
us
where
it
says
the
assembly
will
pass
a
bill
after
the
motion?
Or
will
you
admit
that
you're,
the
one
who
misread
your
own
bill.
E
I
on
this
side
of
the
chamber
am
always
open
to
hearing
feedback,
and
if
the
honorable
members
would
like
to
make
a
couple
of
amendments
to
approve
the
bill,
we
are
more
than
happy
to
work
collaboratively
with
them,
because
I
I
would
note
that
in
Saskatchewan
our
neighboring
Province
the
NDP.
They
are
supported
the
Saskatchewan
government
in
their
effort
to
push
back
against
Ottawa.
They
voted
in
favor
of
the
Saskatchewan
First
Act
I'd
invite
them
to
do
the
same.
The
Honorable,
the
leader
of
the
opposition,.
G
On
previous
claims,
I
swear,
the
premier
must
be
writing
an
invisible
ink
because
the
things
she
claims
are
just
not
in
the
bill.
On
the
one
hand,
we
have
the
premier
and
her
Minister
saying
trust
us.
We
won't
abuse
these
extraordinary
powers
that
don't
exist
and,
on
the
other
hand,
we
have
public
servants,
lawyers,
constitutional
experts
and
every
single
person.
Who's
actually
read
the
legislation,
speaking
about
how
it
overrules
parliamentary
traditions
and
attacks
our
democracy.
So
if
the
premier
wants
to
go
all
God
mode
in
the
legislature,
why
can't
she
just
be
honest
about
it?
E
All
the
premiere
well
Mr
Speaker,
unlike
the
leader
of
the
opposition,
who
runs
to
her
Federal
counterparts,
asking
them
to
disallow
bills
that
are
debated
in
this
legislature,
I
believe
in
the
process
of
this
legislature.
We
put
bills
forward.
We
allow
them
to
go
into
reading
one
reading,
two
Committee
of
the
whole,
where
we
make
amendments
and
then
pass
in
third
reading,
and
it
becomes
the
law
of
the
land
I
invite
the
leader
of
the
opposition
and
her
party
to
be
constructive
in
this
Pro
in
this
process.
E
G
Well,
you
know
Mr
Speaker.
This
bill
creates
economic
and
investor
uncertainty,
no
question
that
is
very
well
established,
but
you
know
what
else
creates
uncertainty
having
a
premier
who
can't
read
her
own
laws,
who
won't
admit
when
she
got
it
wrong,
who
sees
power
and
steps
on
the
rights
of
albertans,
while
I
arrogantly
refusing
to
acknowledge
that
she's
done
it
albertans
just
had
a
premier
like
that
and
spoiler
alert.
He
resigned
this
week.
Does.
E
In
front
of
all
the
premiere,
thank
you
Mr
Speaker.
This
I
guess
is
the
problem.
When
you
pre-write
your
questions
and
don't
listen
to
the
answers.
I
have
said
very
clearly
that
we
go
through
a
process
in
this
legislative
assembly.
This
is
what
democracy
is.
Is
that
you
go
through
a
process?
You
put
forward
amendments
and
look
if
the,
if
the
at
the
end,
if
the
NDP
opposition
has
some
proposals
that
they
want
to
put
us
forward
so
that
we
can
gain
their
op,
we
can
gain
their
support
in
this
legis
on
this
legislation.
G
Bill
is
beyond
fixing,
it
must
be
revoked,
it's
a
mess
and
meanwhile
the
government
should
be
focusing
on
the
hundreds
of
thousands
of
albertans
who
cannot
find
a
family
doctor,
leaving
many
families
with
nowhere
to
go,
but
the
ER
increasing
pressure
there
and
when
that
happens,
it
creates
more
delays
in
the
EMS
system
and
more
albertans
waiting
in
pain.
So
today
our
party
is
introducing
a
pragmatic
framework
to
make
things
better.
Our
bill
would
create
a
process
for
public
health
delivery
standards
to
be
set.
So
all
albertans
have
high
quality
Care
in
a
well-functioning
system.
G
E
E
It's
part
of
the
reason
why
we've
asked
the
board
to
step
aside
and
we've
put
in
place,
Dr
John
Cowell
is
the
official
administrator
and
I
must
tell
you
every
single
day
we
are
going
to
get
feedback
and
be
able
to
drive
changes
through
into
Alberta
Health
Services
to
make
sure
that
we
are
not
only
addressing
the
long
waits
in
emergency
rooms,
making
sure
that
we
have
efficient
drop-off
for
paramedic
and
we're
going
to
be
reducing
the
surgical,
wait
times.
I'm
looking
forward
to
the
NDP
supporting
us
on
that
The.
G
Mr
Speaker.
The
fact
is
that,
instead
of
taking
accountability
and
showing
leadership
to
fix
health
care,
she's
turning
around
and
blaming
everyone
else,
including
Frontline
health
workers,
for
her
own
government's
failure,
she
has
a
collapsed
accountability
down
to
one
person,
as
she
said,
and
now
she's
having
secret
conversations
behind
closed
doors
with
that
person
and
who
knows
who
else
no
one
seems
to
know
she
won't
tell
us
our
bill,
would
create
transparency.
It
would
create
accountability,
it
would
ensure
results
for
Alberta
patients.
Why
is
the
Premier
so
afraid
of
those
principles.
E
The
premiere
every
decision
that
we
are
making
is
putting
Patients
First
every
decision
we
are
making
is
putting
our
doctors
and
our
nurses
and
our
paramedics
and
other
Frontline
health
professionals.
First,
the
members
opposite
want
to
continue
to
support
the
administration
and
doing
study
after
study
and
paying
consultant
after
consultant.
That
is
fundamentally
the
problem
way
too
much
money
going
into
the
layers
of
management
at
the
top
and
way
too
little
money
going
into
the
front
line
to
make
sure
that
we
do
have
enough
doctors
in
rural
Alberta.
E
G
Mr
Speaker,
the
problem
is
she's,
got
no
plan
to
deal
with
that
and
meanwhile
we
have
wait
times
in
our
children's
hospital
that
are
going
above
15,
sometimes
20
hours,
The
Operators,
Children
Hospital
in
Calgary,
has
had
to
build
a
temporary
trailer
to
extend
the
size
of
the
waiting
room
fact
is
this
can't
go
on
and
the
fixes
cannot
go
on
behind
closed
doors.
Our
approach
would
guarantee
that
those
kids
are
treated
inside
a
hospital
not
outside
that
albertans
would
see
how
that
work
was
done.
G
E
Office
opposite,
her
approach
is
we'll
just
trust
the
experts
hands
off
and
we
won't
have
any
direction
given
to
the
biggest
expense
of
our
government
and
that
approach
has
failed.
It's
part
of
the
reason
why
we
ended
up
in
this
situation
that
we're
in
today
we
have
made
great
progress
in
making
sure
that
we're
putting
more
money
into
the
front
line.
L
Question,
thank
you.
Mr
Speaker
Alberta's
government
is
providing
a
one-time
payment
and
wage
top
up
for
Early
Childhood
Educators.
This
is
great
news
for
child
care
workers
who
are
the
heartbeat
of
our
child
care
system,
and
this
is
great
news
for
families
who
rely
on
these
workers
for
Quality
child
care
with
Christmas
just
around
the
corner.
Can
the
minister
please
explain
how
this
decision
will
improve
wages
for
child
care
operators
and
when
The.
M
You
very
much
Mr
Speaker
and
as
The
Honorable
member
today
identified,
we
announced
additional
support
measures
for
our
Frontline
Early
Childhood
Educators,
who
will
not
only
see
additional
wage
top-ups,
but
they
will
also
see
a
significant
one-time
cash
payment
just
before
the
holidays,
Mr
speakers
and
as
you
know,
this
is
one
of
the
most
expensive
times
of
the
year
for
families.
Full-Time
eces
will
receive
a
one-time
payment
of
nine
hundred
dollars
and
part-time
eces
will
receive
four
hundred
and
fifty
dollars.
Mr
Speaker.
Our
government
will
continue
to
support
families
and
our
child
care
workers.
L
Member
for
Calgary
Pagan
thank
you,
Mr
Speaker,
and
to
the
minister
for
that
answer.
Given
our
government
supports
parental
choice
in
child
care
and
education,
and
given
our
government
has
worked
very
hard
to
protect
Alberta's
diverse
child
care
system,
can
the
minister
please
explain
how
these
wage
top-ups
will
help
both
private
and
not-for-profit
operators
attract
new
workers
and
create
a
more
viable
system
overall.
M
You
once
again
Mr
Speaker
by
increasing
wages.
We
are
encouraging
and
incentivizing
our
current
and
prospective
Workforce
to
attain
higher
level
certifications
which
will
spur
further
investment
and
space
creation
by
Child
Care
entrepreneurs.
These
new
competitive
wages,
Mr
Speaker,
will
be
able
to
attract
new
child
care
workers
and
ensure
that
the
Inc
with
increased
Staffing
we
are
able
to
provide
more
spaces
and
improve
care.
Mr
Speaker
our
government
will
ensure
that
both
private
and
not-for-profit
operators
will
have
the
support
that
they
need
to
continue
to
create
a
more
viable
system.
L
Thank
you,
Mr,
Speaker
and
again
to
the
minister
for
that
answer.
Given
Alberta
has
come
back
strong
from
the
pandemic
and
is
leading
the
nation
in
job
growth,
creating
more
demand
than
ever
for
Quality
child
care,
and
given
this
new
funding
will
help
bolster
our
child
care
system
for
child
care
workers
and
the
families
who
rely
on
them.
Can
the
minister
explain
how
this
funding
will
help
get
albertans,
particularly
women,
back
to
work
good
question?
Honorable.
M
Of
children's
services,
thank
you
again,
Mr
Speaker
and
thank
you
to
The
Honorable
member
for
that
question.
The
majority
of
child
care
facilities
in
this
province
are
in
fact
owned
and
operated
by
women.
Our
announcement
this
morning
will
support
our
province's
amazing
female
entrepreneurs
and
their
businesses
and
will
ensure
that
employ
their
employees
continue
to
be
supported,
while
incentivizing
all
of
our
child
care
entrepreneurs
to
open
new
facilities
and
increase
spaces,
which
will
also
increase
employment
and
training
opportunities
for
all.
Thank
you.
F
Homeless
albertan
died
yesterday
due
to
the
lack
of
shelter.
The
same
thing
happened
the
day
before
and
the
day
before,
the
death
toll
is
rising
and
entirely
preventable.
Cold
Winters
in
Alberta
are
never
a
surprise.
Yet
there
have
been
multiple
cold
weather
related
deaths,
a
staggering
number
of
injuries
and
an
alarmingly
high
rate
of
amputation.
The
minister
likes
to
brag
about
his
funding
of
temporary
winter
shelters,
which
should
not
be
temporary
and,
in
fact,
should
be
balanced
with
funding
for
permanent
homes.
Why
is
the
UCP
allowing
albertans
to
live
in
reprehensible
conditions,
good.
N
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker,
and
thank
you,
the
member
for
her
advocacy
and
her
passion
on
the
this
issue.
This
is
a
personal
issue
for
me
too,
as
somebody
who
used
to
work
in
shelters
and
have
known
many
people,
who've
lost
their
lives
to
cold
weather,
knowing
many
more
who've
lost
life
to
addiction
on
our
streets.
I
am
committed
to
working
with
our
municipalities
to
make
sure
that
we
have
appropriate
amount
of
shelter
space
in
this
province
so
that
nobody
has
to
face
the
cold.
This
winter
last
night
I'm
happy
to
report
this.
N
B
F
N
And
community
and
Social
Services
Mr
Speaker
I'm
pleased
to
report
that
we
are
taking
a
proactive
response
to
addressing
homelessness.
This
government,
this
government
doubled
shelter,
space
permanent
shelter
space
when
we
took
office
and
now
we've
doubled,
shelter,
space
heading
into
the
winter,
so
the
we
make
sure
that
nobody
has
to
face
the
cold
but
Mr
Speaker.
We
are
taking
a
proactive
approach
to
making
sure
that
we
can
end
people's
experience
of
homelessness.
N
We've
added
19
million
dollars
in
Edmonton
alone
this
year
to
make
sure
that
we
can
make
sure
there's
supports
so
that
we
can
help
people
move
beyond
the
street.
In
addition
to
that,
we're
investing
in
additional
supports
for
mental
health
and
addiction
support,
so
we
can
help
end
people's
experiences.
The
Honorable.
F
Edmonton
Riverview
prices
paid
in
life
and
limb.
Given
that
we
don't
know
the
total
number
of
people
dying
on
the
streets
as
The
Province
does
not
monitor
deaths
and
given
that
leaving
somewhat
unhoused
costs
more
than
housing
them,
and
given
that
this
government
may
leave
1.5
billion
in
funding
on
the
table
for
the
third
time
or
letting
the
premier's
petty
rivalries
and
sovereignty
Act
take
priority
over
helping
albertans
Minister.
What
will
it
be?
N
In
community
and
Social
Services
Mr
Speaker,
we
have
an
important
question
to
ask
and
and
I
asked
this
sincerely:
do
we
work
towards
adding
more
permanent
shelter
spaces,
or
do
we
work
towards
adding
more
solutions
that
are
actually
going
to
help
end
people's
experience
policies?
That's
what
we're
doing
in
regards
to
the
the
earlier
question
in
regards
to
where
housing
fits
I
am
the
house
Minister
and
I'm.
Taking
this
very
seriously,
we
are
working
towards
expanding
housing
across
this
province
to
make
sure
people
have
a
place
to
call
home
through
our
stronger
foundations
plan.
O
Mr
Speaker
all
albertans
expect
their
elected
officials
to
stand
up
for
the
rates
and
interests
of
our
great
Province
no
question,
but
this
week
albertans
learned
the
sovereignty.
Act
is
not
a
defense
mechanism,
but
rather
a
full-on
power
grab.
The
premier
is
granting
herself
in
her
cabinet
the
ability
to
write
laws
in
secret
in
the
back
room
behind
closed
doors,
no
votes,
no
review,
no
checks
or
balances.
This
is
the
most
unprecedented
abuse
of
cabinet
Authority
in
the
history
of
our
Province
to
the
premier.
P
Come
on
Mr
Speaker,
we're
not
hearing
from
the
NDP
we're
hearing
from
the
anti-dp
over
here.
This
is
the
caucus
that
had
their
leader
asking
Justin
Trudeau
to
step
up
and
void
and
overrule
legislation
passed
by
the
democratically
elected
members
of
this
assembly.
Will
this
member
stand
in
this
assembly
now
Mr
Speaker
and
apologize
to
help
Burns?
For
that
advocacy
just
say?
Yes,
the.
O
Speaker,
given
that
all
this
dictatorial
power
grabbing
is
exactly
the
opposite
of
what
our
investment
Community
is
looking
for,
and
given
that
the
Calgary
chamber
cap
and
many
more
are
lining
up
against
the
sovereignty
act
because
they
know
it
will
kill
jobs,
Drive
Away
investment
and
harm
our
economic
future.
Will
the
premier,
or
perhaps
one
of
her
ministers
professing
to
care
about
the
economy,
stand
and
explain
why
the
premier's
push
for
power
is
more
important
than
Alberta's
economic
Prosperity.
B
P
Of
that
is
true,
this
begins
with
a
process
that
is
a
resolution
in
this
chamber,
an
open,
Democratic
process
for
all
of
us
to
pass,
and
all
of
us
to
vote
on
what
the
NDP
are
mad
about.
What
they're
upset
about
is
a
government
that
would
stand
up
against
Justin
Trudeau.
What
they
want
is
for
us
to
capitulate
to
the
Trudeau
NDP
Alliance
in
Ottawa,
and
that
makes
them
and
angry
that
this
is
a
government.
That's
now
proposing
to
stand
up
against
that
Alliance
in
Ottawa.
O
The
serve
as
minister
of
economic
development,
in
fact
it
was
a
highlight
of
my
career
I'm
hearing
from
my
stakeholders
that
they
are
terrified
and
they're,
considering
pulling
out
of
Alberta
all
together
to
the
minister
of
jobs,
economy
and
Northern
Economic
Development.
Does
he
commit
in
this
house
here
and
now
that
if
one
investor
pulls
out
of
Alberta
or
a
single
job
is
lost
as
a
result
of
this
undemocratic
and
harmful
sovereignty
act,
he
will
stand
up
to
the
premier
and
help
us
defeat.
This
disastrous
legislation.
B
Q
Minister
of
jobs,
the
economy
and
Northern
development,
Mr
Speaker
I
think
it
it's
Rich
coming
from
the
NDP
that
drove
out
thousands
of
jobs,
billions
billions
of
dollars
in
economic
investment,
Mr
Speaker.
Where
are
we
today,
we're
at
record
levels
of
weak
leaner
earnings
for
albertans,
we're
at
record
levels
of
venture
capital,
investment
in
Alberta,
where
record
levels
Mr
Speaker
of
investment
in
Alberta?
And
no
thanks
to
the
NDP?
It's
thanks
to
this
government
and
future
looking
government
that
stands
up
and
sticks
up
for
albertans.
R
Her
Mr
Speaker
Alberta's
law
and
gas
Industries
are
the
leader
in
technology
and
Innovation.
We
also
exceed
Global
Environmental
human
rights
and
labor
standards,
which
is
why
we
are
continuing
to
promote
Alberta's
energy
in
venues
like
the
Canadian,
Energy
Center,
and
events
like
cop
27.
I
also
believe
it
is
important
that
we
continue
to
create
energy
corridors
while
building
Partnerships
with
like-minded
provinces,
states
and
countries.
Mr
Speaker,
Alberta
energy
is
the
solution
to
the
world's
energy
crisis,
to
the
energy
Minister.
S
You
Mr
Speaker,
Alberta's
oil
and
gas
industry
is
a
leader
in
technology
and
Innovation.
We
set
the
bar
for
Global
Environmental
human
rights
and
labor
standards,
which
is
why
we
continue
to
promote
Alberta's
energy
through
avenues
like
the
Canadian,
Energy
Center
and
events
like
cop27.
We
also
believe
it
is
important
that
we
continue
to
create
energy
corridors
while
building
Partnerships
with
like-minded
provinces,
states
and
countries.
Mr
Speaker,
Alberta
energy
is
the
solution
to
the
global
energy
crisis
and
powering
a
low-carbon
world.
R
Mr
Wainwright,
thank
you.
Mr
Speaker,
one
of
the
pilots
currently
under
consideration
is
the
liability,
management
and
Senate
program.
This
program
is
two-pronged.
First,
is
to
encourage
the
cleanup
of
some
of
the
oldest
and
most
troubling
Wells.
Second,
after
cleaning
up
is
complete,
companies
will
receive
a
royalty
credit
on
new
production,
Mr
Speaker.
This
has
the
potential
to
be
a
huge
win
for
industry,
The,
Province
and
the
people
of
Alberta
to
the
same
Minister.
What
policies
are
you
working
on
to
encourage
Reclamation
and
how
will
this
help
Alberta.
S
Well,
thank
you.
Mr
Speaker,
as
mentioned
the
the
province,
is
working
currently
working
and
under
consideration.
A
liability
management
incentive
program
and
the
program
is
two-pronged.
First,
to
encourage
the
cleanup
of
some
of
the
oldest
and
most
troubling
Wells
dating
back
decades
and
second
after
the
cleanup
is
complete.
Companies
will
receive
a
royalty
credit
on
new
production,
only
creating
jobs
and
encouraging
new
investment
Mr
Speaker.
This
has
the
potential
to
be
a
huge
win
for
the
province
industry
and,
most
importantly,
the
people
of
Alberta
The.
R
You
Mr,
Speaker
I,
think
the
sovereignty
act
will
get
out
of
this
attention.
We
just
so
happen
to
have
the
most
affordable,
reliable,
responsible
oil
and
gas
on
the
planet.
This
act
should
be
a
reminder
to
the
federal
government
that
Alberta
is
the
rightful
owner
of
our
resources
and
we're
serious
about
defending
our
interests.
Although
diverse
firing,
our
energy
sector
is
important,
oil
and
gas
is
not
not
going
anywhere
in
the
near
future.
S
Of
energy,
thank
you,
Mr
Speaker
I
think
this
sovereignty
act
will
get
ottawa's.
Attention
should
be
a
reminder
to
the
federal
government
that
Alberta
is
the
rightful
owner
of
our
resources
and
we
are
serious
about
defending
our
interests,
which,
just
so
happens,
to
have
the
most
responsible,
reliable
and
secure
oil
and
gas
on
this
planet.
Although
diversifying
our
energy
sector
is
important,
oil
and
gas
is
not
going
anywhere
soon.
So
by
opposing
Alberta
oil
in
support
of
dictator
oil
Canada
is
going
to
direction
that
does
not
align
with
the
values
of
Canadians.
T
An
opinion
piece
published
on
August
23
2022,
the
Ministers
of
job
economy
and
Northern
development,
does
describe
the
sovereignty
act
as
a
right,
Court
likely
unconstitutional
virtue,
signaling
and
said
it
would
create
worse
uncertainty
for
our
economy
and
investors
than
anything
the
Ottawa
had
done
to
the
economy.
End
quote:
the
minister
was
then
trying
to
win
the
UCP
leadership
race
which
he
didn't
win
now
today
the
job
Minister
says
the
ACT
is
great,
despite
it
being
worse
than
we
could
have
ever
imagined.
Can
the
minister
explained
what
changed?
Q
Thank
you,
Mr,
Speaker
and
I'm
so
proud
to
work
in
a
government
and
work
with
the
premier
that
listens.
Unlike
what
I've
seen
from
past
premiers,
especially
in
the
NDP
government,
Mr
Speaker,
we
have
a
premier
that
listens,
not
just
a
caucus
and
cabinet,
but
continues
to
listen
to
albertans.
That's
why
we've
changed
some
things
in
the
sovereignty
act.
Q
That's
why
we're
continuing
to
be
open-minded
to
listen
even
to
the
opposition
that
might
come
up
with
a
good
idea
from
time
to
time,
but
Mr
Speaker
we're
not
going
to
take
any
lessons
from
the
NDP
who
drove
our
economy
into
a
terrible
place.
We're
going
to
take
steps
to
make
our
economy
better
and
to
stand
up
for
albertans,
especially
stand
up
to
Ottawa
Mr
Speaker
The.
T
Given
that
the
municipal
Finance
go
to
albertan
to
vote
for
him
so
that
he
could
stop
the
sovereignty
act,
which
he
said
was
a
ticking
Time
Bomb,
it
was
not
a
solution
for
Alberta's
problem.
But
given
that
those
people
who
believed
him
were
blindsided
by
his
rush
to
reclaim
his
seat
at
the
cabinet
table
and
now
his
steadfast
Praise
of
the
Bell,
that's
worse
than
anyone
could
imagine,
and
given
the
Vanessa's
on
stakeholders
are
slamming
the
Bell,
including
the
Calgary
Chambers.
T
U
And
the
president
of
Treasury
board,
Mr
Speaker
I,
did
have
legitimate
concerns
over
the
concept
of
the
sovereignty
act
and
I've
shared
my
concerns
throughout
the
development
of
the
bill
and
Mr
Speaker.
Those
concerns
have
been
heard.
My
concern
was
that
this
bill
would
be
constitutional.
My
concern
was
that
this
bill
would
not
undermine
the
rule
of
law,
and
my
concern
was
that
it
would
be
implemented
in
a
way
that
would
provide
business
certainty
because
Mr
Speaker
we've
done
too
much
to
attract
investment
and
create
jobs
into
this
economy
and
to
see
it
unwounded.
V
You
Mr
Speaker
and,
of
course,
I
have
read
the
bill.
I
read
it
multiple
times,
and
it's
no
secret.
That
I
was
adamantly
opposed
to
a
previous
version
of
the
sovereignty
act,
but
to
the
premier's
credit,
she
took
the
feedback
from
cabinet
and
pockets
and
made
significant
changes
to
the
bill
that
have
made
it
palatable,
and
today,
I
was
speaking
to
International
investors,
who
are
very
satisfied
with
Bill
wood
or
excited
to
bring
investment
into
Alberta
for.
W
Mr
Speaker
this
week,
many
Professionals
in
our
film
sector
were
nervous
over
comments
made
by
this
Premiere,
where
she
claimed
she
and
her
ministers
were
calling
groups
to
interfere
in
their
business
operations.
One
example
she
gave
even
exclaimed
to
have
withheld
Government
funding
for
a
desired
result.
The
film
sector
was
very
concerned
about
this.
As
you're
aware
many
Alberta
projects
rely
on
grants
now,
they're
fearful,
they
will
be
denied
the
funding
if
they
don't
allow
the
premier
to
interfere
in
their
private
business
operations.
X
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker,
this
government
always
work
in
hand
with
our
partners,
including
stakeholders,
respectfully
Mr
Speaker.
Regarding
to
this
change
of
the
vaccine
mandate
on
November
15th,
my
department
shared
my
concerns
over
the
obsolete
Federal
vaccine
policy
that
prevented
many
our
burdens
actually
from
participating
to
it.
To
my
satisfaction,
three
days
later,
the
organizing
committee
released
publicly
revoked
absolute
policy
Mr
Speaker.
Today
our
burdens
have
more
opportunity
to
purchase
this
game.
We
are
very
pleased
about
that.
Member.
W
Even
that
one
of
the
film
groups
in
Alberta
emailed
the
premier's
office,
asking
for
clarifications
on
her
comments,
saying
quote
Productions
in
place,
are
now
concerned
about
these
words.
It
could
drive
away
business
investment
in
production
and
license
is
being
signed.
The
mere
mention
of
it
could
limit
employment
projects
being
drawn
to
Alberta
end
quote,
and
given
that
the
premier's
investment
killing
sovereignty,
Act
is
Raising
red
plagues
across
multiple
Industries
to
stay
away
from
Alberta.
Will
the
minister
of
culture
promise
film
groups?
W
Q
Speaker
I'm
so
pleased
to
be
able
to
rise
today
and
talk
about
the
film
industry.
The
film
industry
is
investing
record
amounts
into
Alberta
because
they
understand
where
pro-business
and
we're
this
is
an
important
industry
for
our
future,
but
Mr
Speaker.
We
will
continue
to
strongly
encourage
all
Alberta
employers
to
respect
the
decision
of
their
employees
and
customers,
as
it
relates
to
their
personal,
Health
Choice
right,
Mr,
Speaker
vaccines
is
certainly
none
of
my
business
about
personal
choices
and
it's
certainly
none
of
theirs.
W
Government
on
the
controls,
their
investment
killing
sovereignty
act,
will
give
them
one
from
the
Justice
Minister
telling
the
media.
It's
correct.
That
cabinet
will
have
unilateral
power
to
change
provincial
laws
and
one
other
from
the
premier,
claiming
that's
not
true,
and
given
that
to
have
substantial,
sustained
and
substantial
investment
in
the
province,
especially
in
the
creative
Industries.
We
need
consistency
and
stability
in
our
government,
not
this
chaos
and
confusion.
B
A
little
bit
of
caution
on
having
a
bit
of
difficulty
connecting
the
third
question
to
the
previous
two
questions:
I
appreciate:
tangentially.
They
were
about
the
film
and
television
industry,
but
the
connection
is
brought
at
best:
The
Honorable,
the
minister
of
jobs,
the
economy
and
Northern
development.
Q
Mr
Speaker:
she
is
right
about
one
thing:
investors
want
certainty,
that's
right.
They
want
to
have
confidence
in
our
economy
and
they
do
right
now.
So
much
in
fact
that
net
migration
to
Alberta
is
at
record
levels.
People
are
moving
flocking
to
our
Province
because
they
understand
they've
got
certainty
and
they've
got
more
importantly,
a
premier
in
a
government
that's
going
to
stand
up
for.
Q
Y
Constituency
is
Athabasca
University,
the
University
was
relocated
to
Athabasca
from
Edmonton
in
1984
to
help
create
jobs
and
Foster
economic
growth
and
opportunity.
In
the
northern
region,
I've
heard
from
many
constituents
who
are
concerned,
Athabasca
universities
moved
to
a
near
virtual
model,
has
diminished
au's
physical
presence
in
the
area
as
Jobs
leave
the
towns
straining
the
Region's
economic
Outlook
to
the
minister
of
advanced
education.
Does
this
government
share
those
concerns?
Honorable.
Z
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker,
and
thank
you
to
the
member
and
I
want
to
commend
him
on
relaying
the
concerns
of
his
constituents
with
me
and
the
government
more
broadly,
yes,
Mr
Speaker.
We
share
those
concerns,
which
is
why
our
government
has
taken
action
to
work
with
the
university
to
create
more
jobs
in
the
community.
More
specifically,
as
recently
as
yesterday,
the
Board
of
Governors
of
Athabasca
University
has
agreed
upon
a
new
investment
management
agreement
that
provides
stipulations
to
increase
job
numbers
in
the
community.
I'm
very
proud
that
we've
taken
this
step,
Mr
Speaker.
Y
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker,
given
that
a
key
factor
in
ensuring
the
development
and
sustainability
of
the
Athabasca
region
is
having
physical
employees
in
Athabasca,
as
well
as
having
local
talent
as
a
part
of
those
employees,
and
given
that
last
night
the
minister
announced
that
an
investment
management
agreement
was
signed
with
the
Board
of
Governors
of
the
Athabasca
University
to
the
same
Minister.
Can
you
provide
specific
details
of
what
that
agreement
contains?.
Z
Mr
Speaker,
so
the
investment
management
agreement
stipulates
that
44
of
the
institution's
executive
team
must
be
based
in
Athabasca
within
three
years
to
put
that
in
real
terms.
That's
a
four
out
of
nine
executive
members.
It
also
stipulates
that
the
university
should
increase
the
number
of
local
employees
from
its
current
base
of
252
to
277.
Again
that's
within
three
years:
Mr
Speaker.
This
is
particularly
important.
The
university
has
an
important
role
to
play
in
bringing
jobs
to
the
community.
Y
You
Mr
Speaker
and
thank
you
to
the
minister
for
his
dedication
and
for
his
responsiveness
to
the
concerns
community
members
have
raised,
given
that
Athabasca
University
was
originally
created
as
a
correspondence
University
and
given
that
it
has
grown
into
a
world
leader
in
Higher
Learning
for
those
albertans
and
Canadians
who
can't
physically
travel
to
classes
in
urban
centers
to
the
same
Minister.
How
will
this
new
agreement
ensure
Athabasca
remains
a
home
for
the
online
delivery
of
learning
and
can
continue
to
succeed
into
the
future.
Z
Mr
Speaker
Athabasca
University
is
a
a
critical
gem
for
the
province
of
Alberta
and
all
of
Canada.
As
our
Premier
online
learning
provider.
It
ensures
that
individuals
who
can't
physically
get
onto
a
University
campus
are
able
to
access
post-secondary
education,
Mr
Speaker
I'm,
looking
forward
to
working
with
the
institution
to
continue
to
strengthen
their
online
delivery
model
with
a
strong
base
of
operations
in
the
town
of
Athabasca,
Mr
Speaker.
AA
Speaker
recent
data
shows
Alberta
workers
have
the
second
slowest
wage
growth
in
Canada,
Alberta's
average
weekly
earnings
grew
by
just
2.6
percent,
far
behind
the
rest
of
Canada.
During
a
time
of
rising
costs.
This
is
completely
unacceptable
and
shows
that
this
government
can't
get
the
job
done
on
protecting
Alberta's
economy.
During
the
worst
affordability
crisis
we've
seen
in
Generations,
wages
are
not
keeping
up
and
workers
are
falling
further
behind.
Why
does
this
government
think
it's
acceptable
that
Alberta's
wage
growth
is
so
far
behind
the
rest
of
the
country.
Q
Economy
and
Northern
development.
It's
a
good
question,
Mr
Speaker,
but
let
me
tell
you
when
you're
number
one
it
moves
a
little
slower
and
the
rest,
and
we
are
Mr
Speaker.
We
have
the
highest
weekly
earnings
in
the
country
and
not
only
that
Mr
Speaker,
good
news
and
I'm
I
appreciate
the
member
giving
me
this
opportunity.
We
have
a
hundred
thousand
jobs
here
in
Alberta
that
are
not
filled
right
now,
so
come
on
out
to
Alberta.
It
is
the
land
of
opportunity
for
individual
employees
and
for
businesses.
AA
Given
that
in
budget
estimates,
the
Finance
Minister
said
quote
we're
predicting
average
weekly
earnings
to
go
up
well
over
three
percent
in
excess
of
inflation,
end
quote
and
given
that
clearly
the
finance
Minister's
protection
was
incredibly
wrong
and
many
families
are
suffering
from
the
additional
cost
that
this
government
has
put
on
them.
De-Indexing
taxes,
Park
fees,
new
fees
for
seniors,
medical
exams,
car
rocketing,
car
insurance
utilities.
It
goes
on
and
on
Mr
Speaker.
Does
the
Finance
Minister
understand
his
government's
paltry
utilities
rebate?
Isn't
solving
this
crisis?
The
Honorable
the
Minister.
U
Well,
thank
you.
Mr
Speaker,
Mr
Speaker.
Our
government
inherited
a
fiscal
and
economic
train
wreck
from
the
members
opposite
and
from
day
one.
We
worked
hard
to
position
this
economy
for
competitiveness,
for
investment
attraction,
job
creation
and
economic
diversification
and
Mr
Speaker.
Our
plan
worked,
our
economy
is
growing
and
leading
the
nation
in
economic
growth.
The
economy
is
diversifying
at
rates
I've
not
seen
in
my
lifetime
and
Mr
Speaker
in
this
year.
Since
January
1
in
Alberta,
28
percent
of
the
jobs
in
all
of
Canada
were
created
in
Alberta
honorable,
the
opposition
Health
leader.
AA
Given
Mr
Speaker,
it's
clear,
the
Finance
Minister
does
not
understand
the
crisis
Alberta
families
are
experiencing,
given
that
they're
poorly
thought
out,
inflation
relief
measures
leave
out
2
million
albertans
and,
given
that
prices
are
continuing
to
grow
at
a
rate,
far
beyond
Alberta's
anemic
wage
growth
rates
under
this
government
I
know
they
thought
a
labor.
Minister
was
something
optional,
but
perhaps,
as
Alberta
workers
fall
further
and
further
behind,
this
Premier
may
want
to
consider
actually
having
one
of
her
endless
array
of
cabinet
ministers,
care
and
fight
for
workers.
AB
You
Mr
Speaker,
everyone
in
this
chamber
has
heard
from
their
constituents
about
the
challenges
associated
with
record
inflation
and
the
heightened
cost
of
living,
and
that's
why
we're
pleased
to
come
forward
with
immediate
relief
over
two
billion
dollars
will
be
announced
over
the
coming
weeks
to
support
the
vast
majority
and,
in
many
cases,
all
albertans.
This
includes
nine
unestimated
benefit
of
nine
hundred
dollars
alone
to
an
average
household
and
there's
more
for
seniors
families
with
children
and
disabled
albertans,
who
we
know
who
have
been
hit
particularly
hard
on
the
inflation
and
affordability
crisis.
AC
Speaker
from
the
day
was
elected,
this
government's
attitude
towards
a
front-line
health
care
workers
can
be
summed
up
with
two
words:
aggression
and
attack
the
UCP
tore
up
Deals,
they
threatened
pay
cuts,
they
attacked
their
wages,
accused
them
of
playing
politics
repeatedly
chose
to
underfund
them
in
the
life-saving
work
that
they
do
now.
Frontline
healthcare
workers
report-
the
health
minister,
is
refusing
to
meet
with
them
to
talk
about
how
they
can
work
together
to
recruit
and
retain
more
colleagues
to
support
their
heroic
efforts
to
keep
our
Health
Care
system
going
so
Mr
Speaker.
AC
AD
Thank
you,
I
thank
the
honorable
member
for
the
question
and
his
information
is
out
of
date.
Mr
Speaker
I
have
meetings
scheduled
with
each
of
the
leaders
of
the
of
the
healthcare
units
to
talk
about
that
exact
issue
in
terms
of
Attraction
and
retention,
but
Mr
Speaker
I'd
like
to
point
out
a
few
other
things:
Mr
Speaker.
We
have
invested
more
money
right
in
health
care
than
ever
in
this
province,
22
billion
this
year,
another
that
we
add
is
600
million
this
year,
600
million
next
year,
600
million
the
year
after
that
Mr
Speaker.
AC
Mr
Speaker:
this
government
has
longer
wait
times
than
ever
before
more
albertans
than
ever
before.
Who
can't
see
a
doctor
and
given
that,
while
this
minister
is
happy
not
meeting
with
albertans
on
the
front
lines
of
deliberate
Health
Care,
the
premier
is
Consulting
with
a
secret
group
of
supposed
doctors
and,
given
she
publicly
stated,
this,
shadowy
group
of
divisors
was
apparently
eager
to
talk
to
Paul
Alexander,
a
man
who
called
the
covid-19
vaccine
a
bio
weapon.
AC
B
AD
Speaker,
that
simply
is
incorrect
over
the
course
of
the
summer,
and
also
into
the
fall
I
travel
across
the
province
held
41
workshops
to
talk
with
healthcare
workers
and
those
in
the
Continuing
Care
sector
in
the
primary
care
sector,
as
well
as
healthcare
advocates
and
and
included
a
number
of
unionized
workers,
AHS
employees,
Mr
speaker
I,
spoke
with
over
12,
sorry,
1100,
employees
and
and
representatives
from
across
the
province
getting
their
input.
I
have
heard
them
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
meeting
with
the
unions
to
talk
about.
How
do
we
further
expand
our.
AC
Given
this
Premier
seems
to
support
her
Shadow
advisors
arranging
to
meet
with
Paul
Alexander,
who
encouraged
the
rampant
spread
of
covid-19
amongst
children
and,
in
addition,
told
billions
of
vaccinated
albertans,
they
were
infected
with
a
bioweb
and
given
this
suggests
that
these
discredited
disturbing
views
are
getting
an
audience
with
this
Premier,
while
credible
Health,
Care
Professionals,
are
told
to
take
a
hike.
Well,
the
minister
of
Health
advises
Health,
it's
just
who
is
advising
the
premier
when
it
comes
to
the
health
and
safety
of
albertans.
AD
Speaker
our
office
continues
to
work
with
Healthcare
professionals
from
across
the
province.
We
continue
to
listen
to
healthcare
professionals
to
be
able
to
provide
services
to
to
albertans
we're
working
with
AMA
Mr
Speaker
I
was
very
pleased
to
get
an
agreement
with
the
AMA
and
look
at
how
do
we
actually
deal
with
the
challenges
together?
Mr
Speaker,
we
are
working
with
albertans.
We
are
working
with
health
care
workers
to
be
able
to
improve
the
services
and
ensure
that
albertans
get
the
health
care
services
that
they
need.
B
B
AE
AF
AG
Speaker
when
we
formed
government,
our
Province
was
in
shambles
years
of
economic
decline.
Rising
debts
in
our
future
looked
Grim.
Thank
goodness.
We
got
hired
because
now
Alberta
is
on
a
roll
with
a
rapidly
growing
and
diversifying
economy.
We
had
record
investments
in
venture
capital
in
2020
of
445
million
dollars,
beat
that
record
in
2021
with
561
million
Q3
this
year
we
are
already
at
509
million
and
continuing
to
increase,
while
the
rest
of
the
country
is
on
the
downturn.
On
the
tech
front,
we
are
seeing
thousands
of
jobs
created
Infosys
and
emphasis.
AG
Each
announced
a
thousand
jobs
in
Calgary
Amazon
web
services
announced
a
four
billion
dollar
investment
and
a
thousand
jobs
in
Calgary
RBC
announced
a
key
300
jobs.
Why
are
those
jobs
key
because
we
pulled
those
jobs
right
away
from
Toronto's
Bay
Street
and
put
them
where
that's
right?
Calgary?
We
are
reeling
over
a
record
year
in
film
and
television,
with
over
a
billion
dollars
of
investment.
We've
had
record
years
in
Agriculture
and
Forestry
they're
becoming
a
logistics
Hub
with
many
major
investments
in
distribution
centers,
including
little-known
names
like
Walmart
and
Rona
Lowe's.

This
is
in
addition
to
multi-billion
Dollar
announcements
in
hydrogen
from
Air

and
an
ethylene
cracker
and

Facility
by
Dow

Tourism
is
also
rolling
back
to
pre-pandemic
levels,
with
a
growing
trajectory
trajectory
that
I
anticipate
will
surpass
the
double
of
revenues
that
we
are
aiming
for.
All
this
has
led
to
the
aviation
sector
flying
under
the
radar,
but
I
tell
you
Mr
Speaker.

AG
AH
September
first
celebrated
the
inaugural
Alberta
day
in
recognition
of
Alberta
joining
the
existing
Canadian
Confederation
on
September
1st
1905.,
the
champion
and
architect
of
Alberta
joining
Confederation
was
Sir
Frederick
Halton
premier
of
the
legislature
of
the
Northwest
Territories,
there's
a
building
in
his
honor
on
these
grounds,
but
few
know
of
the
heroic
work
he
did
in
negotiating
for
a
fair
and
equal
status
in
the
Confederation
dream.
His
endless
challenge
was
to
confront
the
colonial
attitudes
and
behaviors
of
central
Canada.
The
first
grade
struggle
was
to
gain
recognition
for
the
legislative
authority
of
the
Northwest
Territories.
AH
We
sit
here
today
so
clearly
that
was
arrested
from
Ottawa.
The
second
pressing
great
challenge
was
to
gain
adequate
funding
and
budget
control
to
provide
the
services
needed
for
the
rapidly
growing
West.
This
Ottawa
continually
refused
to
do
and
even
limited
the
power
of
the
province
to
raise
its
own
funding.
One
Infamous
Act
of
skullduggery
by
Ottawa
was
with
regards
to
UConn,
which
was
than
part
of
the
Northwest
Territories.
When
gold
was
discovered
there,
the
territories
rightly
expected
that
there
would
be
a
source
of
Revenue.
AH
Ottawa
also
saw
this
need,
though,
and
immediately
carved
out
the
Yukon
as
a
separate
territory
as
a
way
to
ensure
that
all
revenues
from
the
Gold
Rush
went
to
Ottawa,
not
Alberta
and
Saskatchewan.
They
would
continue
to
be
hamstrung
and
kept
in
a
begging
status
for
an
annual
but
minuscule
allocation
from
Ottawa.
Equally
egregious
Arrangements
by
Ottawa
to
hinder
the
west,
where
the
Dominion
Land
Act
in
the
Canadian
Pacific
Railway
act.
Premier
Hall
team
continued
to
speak,
seek
a
fair
and
equal
deal.
AH
His
success
was
always
limited
by
delay
and
outright
denial
of
the
Ottawa
Elite
halting
proposed
a
province
which
included
the
territories
of
Saskatchewan
and
Alberta
United.
He
thought
this
would
make
for
a
stronger
province
with
fewer
expenses.
Ottawa
flatly
denied
that
wanting
two
provinces
in
order
to
keep
them
weaker
and
divided
so
Ottawa
could
maintain
control.
Thank
you,
Premier
Hall
team,
for
your
determined
resolve
to
enter
into
a
fair
and
equal
Confederation
agreement
and
The.
AI
Special
day
of
action
for
early
learning
and
child
care,
calling
for
a
system
of
early
learning
and
child
care
which
properly
compensates
Early,
Childhood
Educators,
provides
access
for
all
families
and
ensures
quality.
The
Alberta
NDP
is
proud
to
add
our
voices
to
this
call,
but
more
than
that,
we
will
act.
Albertans
know

always
been
committed
to
affordable
quality
child
care,
to
support
our
economy,
working
parents
and
children's

that's
the

UCP
only
cares
about
child

when
they
want
to
play

with
the
federal

do
it,
an
intentional
interference
and
an
unconstitutional
Federal
program.
They're
jeopardizing
parents,
access
to
affordable
child
care
and
the
child
care
Workforce
with
their
job,
killing
sovereignty
act
and
since
we
know
Child
Care
is
critical
to
economic
growth.
The
premier
is
showing
once
again
how
bad
she
is
for
Alberta's
economy.
We
understand
that
a
responsible
government
stands
up
for
albertans
by
doing
the
work.
AI
That
means
funding
Child
Care
properly.
An
Alberta
NDP
government
will
increase
provincial
funding
for
child
care,
not
underfunded,
siphon
dollars
away
to
the
war
room
or
wait
for
the
feds
to
pay
for
it.
Like
the
UCP,
we'll
address
the
number
one
issue
facing
all
child
care
providers
attracting
and
retaining
qualified
Early
Childhood
Educators.
Let
me
be
clear:
we
would
have
increased
wages
the
day
the
federal
deal
was
signed.
While
the
UCP
fails
to
meet
their
target
of
10
000
new
non-profit
spaces.
AI
We
won't
fail
because
we
will
work
with
operators,
non-profits
and
municipalities,
to
fund
it
properly
and
get
it
done.
We
won't
play
games
and
delay
the
cost
control
framework
for
for-profit
child
care
providers
like
the
UCP.
We
need
new
spaces
for
Alberta
families.
Now
we
will
include
the
thousand
of
Alberta
families
who
use
out
of
school
care
because
all
families
are
struggling
with
affordability
right
now.
The
Alberta
NDP
has
never
wavered
on
this.
AI
G
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker,
I
Rise
and
request
leave
to
introduce
the
bill
201.
The
public
health
care
delivery
standards
act
if
passed.
This
bill
will
make
a
real
difference
in
the
lives
of
albertans
who
need
help
when
they
get
sick
or
injured.
This
Bell
compels
the
establishment
of
Health
delivery
standards
and
then
requires
the
government
to
be
held
accountable
on
delivering
on
those
standards.
G
There
is
a
crisis
in
health
care
right
now,
and
albertans
should
be
able
to
expect
an
ambulance
to
arrive
within
minutes
to
be
able
to
access
an
emergency
room
within
a
few
hours
and
to
see
a
family
doctor
within
a
day
or
two.
This
legislation
would
require
governments
of
any
party
to
be
transparent
and
held
accountable
to
delivering
those
standards
within
public
health
care.
I
hope
that
all
members
in
the
assembly
will
support
it
and
allow
it
to
be
debated
fully
as
a
primary
priority
in
this
house.

Mr

I'm
pleased

introduce
Bill,
202,
Alberta,
personal
income,
tax,
charitable
and
other

Amendment

2000,

Mr,

charity
is
the
greatest.
Amongst
all
virtues,
it
has
been
the
watchword
about
Burton's

the
watermark
of

since
our
conception
through

from

albertans
have
come
to
their

Charities,
and
these
Charities
are
beloved
institutions
neither
support
more
now
than
ever,
and
that's
why
I'm
so
pleased
to
introduce
this
private

bill
today.

Honorable

having

copies

things,
the
creation
of
health

Terrible

Yes,
Mr

thank
you
very
much.
I
rise
on
point
of
order.
23
h
I
and
J
specifically
the
portion
about
using
language.
That's
caused
As
A
disruption
within
the
chamber,
Mr
Speaker.
At
the
time
when
the
member
from
Edmonton
Beverly
clairview
was
speaking
asking
his
question.
He
said
and
I
do
have
the
benefit
of
the
Blues,
the
following
to
the
premier.
AF
AA
Much
Mr
Speaker
this
language
and
this
comparison
was
chosen
because
this
bill
is
currently
debating
a
piece
of
legislation
that
looks
remarkably
similar
to
the
actions
we
see
from
dictators
in
other
countries.
Putin
is
a
dictator
who
makes
decisions
behind
closed
doors,
who
denies
evidence
and
says
that
things
are
one
way
when
there
is
proof
that
they
are
not
true,
democracies,
debate
legislation
and
laws
in
public.
They
don't
quote,
try
something
new
by
subverting
democratic
debate
and
transparency
and
in
Bill
one
we
see
Powers
allowing
cabinet
to
make
decisions
behind
closed
doors.
AA
AM
B
B
B
It
is
a
very
slippery
slope
that
one
heads
down
when
making
such
comparisons,
but
for
the
purposes
of
this
point
of
order,
I
will
quote
The
Honorable
Betty
boothrod,
the
speaker
of
the
House
of
Commons
in
the
UK
when
she
said
you've
got
to
ensure
that
the
holders
of
an
opinion,
however
unpopular,
are
allowed
to
get
their
views
across
I.
Consider
this
matter
a
matter
of
debate,
however.
I
do
provide
some
caution
to
The
Honorable
member
when
making
comparisons
to
such
world
leaders
or
dictators.
I
consider
this
matter
dealt
with
and
concluded.
AJ
AJ
AJ
The
ACT
will
protect
our
Province
by
providing
authority
to
the
cabinet
when
authorized
by
the
Legislative
Assembly
under
the
ACT.
I'll
say
that
again
it
will
protect
our
Province
by
providing
authority
to
the
cabinet
when
authorized
by
the
Legislative
Assembly
under
the
ACT
to
direct
provincial
entities
to
not
enforce
specific
federal
laws
or
policies
with
provincial
resources.
AJ
Despite
these
numerous
benefits,
the
legislation
introduced
has
been
vilified
by
the
NDP
as
being
divisive
and
unconstitutional.
In
reality,
Mr
Speaker.
This
bill
was
created
to
be
respectful
of
Court
decisions
respectful
of
indigenous
and
treaty
rights
and
the
constitutional
rights
of
diverse
provinces
within
a
United
Canada.
AJ
It
is
notable,
for
example,
that
our
neighboring
province
of
Saskatchewan
has
passed
very
similar
legislation
in
that
province.
Despite
dangerous
and
false
rhetoric
coming
from
the
NDP,
the
Alberta
sovereignty
within
a
United
Canada
Act
will
assert
provincial
jurisdiction
already
delineated
in
the
Canadian
Constitution.
AJ
Additionally,
Alberta
will
continue
to
respect,
not
disregard
Court
rulings.
If
the
Alberta
government's
use
of
the
act
against
any
federal
initiative
is
challenged
in
court,
the
decision
of
the
Court
will
be
respected
and
upheld.
Well,
we
are
on
the
topic
of
disinformation,
I'd
like
to
take
this
time
to
clarify
the
intent
of
this
bill.
There
is
nothing
in
the
act
that
relates
in
any
way
to
the
topic
of
Separation.
AJ
This
is
simply
fear-mongering
from
the
members
opposite,
Mr
Speaker,
the
ACT
will
not
be
used
to
create
an
independent
Alberto,
but
rather
it
is
about
making
Alberta
more
prosperous
while
remaining
within
a
more
unified
Canada.
Speaking
of
fear-mongering,
the
NDP
also
like
to
argue
that
the
ACT
will
risk
creating
economic
chaos,
Mr
Speaker.
In
fact,
the
use
of
the
Act
One
harm
Alberta's
economy
whatsoever.
AJ
Instead,
it
will
help
protect
Alberta's
freedoms,
interests,
economic
growth
and
prosperity
from
intrusive
Federal
policies
and
legislation
that
have
caused
hundreds
of
billions
of
dollars,
hundreds
of
billions
of
dollars,
Mr
Speaker,
to
flee
Alberta
to
other
jurisdictions.
Over
the
past
decade,
by
re-establishing
the
rule
of
constitutional
law
back
into
the
Canadian
legal
system,
businesses
will
be
able
to
flourish
from
the
resulting
increase
in
stability
and
predictability
here
in
Alberta
and
right
across
Canada
Mr
Speaker.
This
government
has
been
committed
to
ensuring
that
Alberta's
voice
remains
strong
on
our
priorities,
our
interests
and
our
concerns.
AJ
AJ
Protecting
albertans
from
federal
government
overreach,
defending
Alberta's
interests
and
enhancing
trade
and
Investments
is
critical
to
Alberta's
economic
future
and,
by
extension,
the
future
generations
of
albertans
that
we
are
here
to
serve.
The
premier
has
been
clear
that
we
will
respond
to
unconstitutional
Federal
encroachments
on
areas
of
provincial
jurisdiction
and
develop,
made
and
Alberta
strategies
to
manage
our
own
resources.
Mr
Speaker.
AJ
O
Thank
you
very
much,
Mr
Speaker
and
congratulations
officially
being
in
the
the
chair
as
chair
of
committees.
It's
my
pleasure
and
honor
to
rise
to
speak
to
Bill
one
today.
The
the
sovereignty
act
and
I
want
to
start
off
by
stating
what
we
all
know,
but
I
want
to
start
off
by
stating
that
every
legislator
in
this
chamber
stands
up
for
Alberta,
first
and
foremost,
and
that
Alberta's
interests
are
our
top
priority.
That
is
why
we
are
provincial
politicians
and
and
not
federal
politicians.
O
I
understand
the
rationale
behind
the
premier
bringing
up
this
bill.
However,
this
bill
is
damaging
and
has
already
caused
damage
to
Alberta's
reputation
and
I'm,
not
speaking
just
from
my
own
words,
I
appreciate
members
may
say:
well
that's
your
opinion,
but
Mr
Speaker.
We
as
a
caucus
and
myself
personally,
have
talked
to
many
Business
Leaders
across
the
province
and
have
heard
the
the
not
just
concerns,
but
the
fact
that
the
tabling
of
this
bill
has
already
caused
damage
to
Alberta's
reputation.
O
It's
caused
damage
because,
as
most
members
know,
the
business
Community
globally
looks
for
jurisdictions
that
are
stable
and
predictable
and
have
certainty
the
very
Act
of
tabling
this
legislation.
In
fact,
Mr
Speaker.
This
uncertainty
in
the
business
Community
started
months
ago
when
the
current
Premier
was
campaigning
on
this
notion.
O
O
There
are
an
examples
of
when
provinces
have
challenged
the
federal
government
through
the
courts
when
they've
deemed
an
action
of
the
federal
government
to
be
unconstitutional
and
provinces
have
won
those
Appeals
and
so
to
say
that
Alberta
needs
this.
To
stand
up
to
Ottawa
is
false,
because
there
are
mechanisms
that
are
already
in
place
now.
Maybe
the
government
doesn't
like
that
process,
but
it
doesn't
give
them
the
right
to
introduce
a
bill
that
that
usurps
and
undermines
democracy.
O
This
bill
completely
undermines
the
process
of
our
our
Westminster
system
and
Mr
Speaker.
I'm
surprised
that
the
current
government,
who
claim
to
be
allies
of
the
business
community,
aren't
standing
up
for
the
business
Community
who
are
ringing
the
alarm
Bells
about
investment
and
anyone
who
says
well
this
hasn't
or
won't
impact
investment
coming
to
Alberta
they're
wrong.
O
O
O
Now
again,
as
I
started,
my
comments
I'm
in
favor
of
when
Alberta
needs
to
stand
up
to
the
federal
government.
Whoever
the
federal
government
is
bad
decisions.
We
should
be
standing
up
to
the
federal
government
to
say
that's,
not
in
the
best
interests
of
Alberta
and
again
there's
a
process
and
a
mechanism
for
that
and
I'll.
O
In
fact,
I
was
I
was
out
for
a
coffee
with
an
executive
from
one
of
the
largest
gas
producing
companies
in
Canada,
and
he
said
to
me,
your
government
did
more
for
our
sector
than
the
current
government
has
in
three
and
a
half
years
for
modernizing
the
royalties,
which
meant
that
producers
could
get
continue
to
be
profitable
through
the
full
life
cycle
of
the
well
I
can
tell
you
Mr
Speaker.
We
also
engaged
on
a
campaign
to
promote
the
need
for
pipelines
as
the
safest
way
to
transport
our
energy
resources
in
Canada.
O
O
By
the
end
of
that
campaign,
7
in
10
Canadians
were
in
favor
of
the
TMX
being
built.
We
moved
the
needle
more
effectively
in
our
time
in
government
than
predecessors
did
in
fact,
I
remember
when
former
Premier
Redford
was
in
this
chamber
and
she
continued
to
go
on
trade
missions
to
try
to
sell
our
product.
O
Under
this
government,
what
we
have
is
a
bill
that
is
creating
chaos,
it's
creating
chaos
and
investments.
In
fact,
I
know
that
investors
have
either
moved
off
of
Alberta.
Alberta
was
one
of
the
jurisdictions
they
were
looking
at
investing
in,
and
they
said
no,
if
we're
lucky
at
best,
they've
pushed
the
pause
button,
and
so
the
only
way
that
this
government
can
bring
back
that
confidence
is
to
scrap
this
bill
start
over
this
bill.
O
O
O
Yes,
I
move
that
the
motion
for
second
reading
of
Bill,
one
Alberta
sovereignty
within
the
United
Canada
Act,
be
amended
by
deleting
all
of
the
words
after
that
and
substituting
the
following.
Bill
one
Alberta
sovereignty
within
United
Canada
Act
be
not
now
read
a
second
time,
because
the
assembly
is
of
the
view
that
the
bill
is
negatively
impacting
investment
decisions
and
the
Alberta
economy
and
should
not
proceed
in
order
to
protect
the
economic
being
well-being
of
albertans
Mr
Speaker.
O
This
reasoned
Amendment
is
that
it's
a
it's
a
reasoned
Amendment
and
the
approach
that
we
are
taking
is
that
this
bill
needs
to
I
appreciate
earlier
today.
The
premier
talked
about
amendments.
The
problem
is
the
bill
is
so
problematic
that
it
cannot
be
amended
to
be
good
enough
to
be
legislation.
That's
passed
in
this
chamber,
and
so
this
bill
needs
not
proceed.
O
The
government
needs
to
go
back
to
the
drawing
board
on
this
and
part
of
the
reason
that
this
bill
is
also
so
problematic.
I
know
my
good
colleague,
the
member
from
Edmonton
Rutherford
has
been
in
constant
contact
with
many
chiefs
in
Alberta,
and
our
indigenous
sisters
and
brothers
have
not
been
consulted
on
this
bill.
They
have
not
been
contacted
at
all,
and
so
for
the
premier
or
any
minister
to
say
after
a
bill
is
tabled,
we
will
go
and
consult
with
you.
That's
not
consultation,
that's
that's!
O
Actually
insulting
and,
and
the
Chiefs
recognize
that
talking
to
them
after
legislation's
already
written,
is,
is
backwards.
That
government
should
be
Consulting
with
indigenous
communities.
Indigenous
leaders
before
the
bill
is
drafted
so
that
they
can
have
not
just
meaningful
input
but
to
be
able
to
sit
down
and
provide
their
insights
and
perspectives
on
the
bill
to
ensure
that
there
aren't
unintended
consequences
now,
I,
don't
know
if
the
premier
and
cabinet
realized
in
their
debates
when
they
were
talking
about
this
bill.
O
What
some
of
the
unintended
consequences
are,
but
I
know
for
a
fact
that
a
member
cannot
stand
up
in
this
house
and
say:
oh
no,
the
business
Community
thinks
this
is
great
and
and
I've
not
heard
one
negative
thing
about
this
bill
or
the
chill
that
it's
put
on
investment
decisions,
because
I
know
for
a
fact
that
every
MLA
has
been
receiving
correspondence.
Whether
phone
calls
or
emails
about
this
bill
and
its
impact
and
I
see
my
friend,
the
member
for
Edmonton
Northwest
would
like
to
say
a
few.
AI
AO
And
I
know
you've
been
helping
in
Beverly
Clearview
as
and
thank
you
very
much
for
that
in
all
the
many
kilometers
that
you
put
in
through
a
Beverly
Claire
view
talking
to
people,
has
the
sovereignty
of
Alberta
ever
come
up
at
the
door
as
a
top
of
Mind
issue
for
your
constituents.
I
certainly
have
not
seen
it.
You
know
and
I've
not
just
been
in
my
own
constituency,
but
I've
been
in
Calgary
and
Lethbridge
Medicine
Hat
right
here,
Suburban,
Evanson,
Evanson
and
I've.
AO
O
Great
great
question:
the
short
answer
is
no
now
you
know
I
will
say
that
at
times
as
I've
canvassed
around
the
province,
whether
door,
knocking
or
meeting
with
stakeholders
that
people
have
expressed
frustration
with
Ottawa
frustration
with
ottawa's
decisions,
I
share
that
frustration
for
some
decisions
that
they've
made
I
share.
Some
of
the
frustrations
with
the
the
current
government
and
I
also
have
different
opinions
on
policies
from
the
federal
Indies,
and
so
but
I
can
tell
you
Mr
Speaker
that
again
there
is
a
process.
O
But
what
this
bill
does
is.
It
undermines
our
very
democratic
system
because
you
have
cabinet
being
able
to
amend
legislation
that
has
never
happened
in
Alberta
in
our
history
through
a
simple
motion
that
cabinet
can
go
back
and
completely
rewrite
a
bill
that
was
passed
by
all
87
members
through
the
process
of
passing
legislation.
So
if
a
motion
in
this
chamber
is
the
exact
same
as
a
bill
which
is
not
because
emotion
doesn't
go
through
three
readings
and
Committee
of
the
whole.
O
AN
AP
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker,
and
to
the
member
opposite,
unfortunately,
didn't
accept
an
intervention
I
think
we're
just
getting
back
there.
I'd
love
to
speak
to
the
point
where
he
said.
No,
the
plethora
of
doors
and
I
have
a
ton
of
respect
for
this
member,
because
he's
literally
like
the
sole
person
of
the
capital
caucus
or
a
capitalist
caucus,
I
should
say
over
there.
There
was
one
other
member
actually
wanted
a
correction
on
that
because
he
also
understood
business.
So
I
do
respect
when
that
member
speaks,
but
something
I
have
a
bit
of
a
quandary.
AP
Well,
if
he
would
have
accepted
the
intervention
and
threw
you
to
him.
Maybe
we
could
have
had
this
dialogue,
but
he
had
his
member
prescribed
as
anyone
asked
him
specifically
about
this
bill,
and
if
anyone
asked
him
about
sovereignty,
so
I'll
give
him
the
slippery
slope
and
the
truthiness
that
he
likes
to
utilize,
that
I'll,
accept
or
or
I'll
give
him
the
same
courtesy
he
gave
me
so
with
that
point
he
claims
he
claims
that
no
one
has
any
concerns
in
this
province.
AP
Is
they
patch
over
at
the
other
club
I'm
wondering
that's
going
to
become
formal
because
they
basically
wrote
a
little
contract
with
each
other
to
backstop
them
and
keep
going
on
this
they've
been
overreaching
Non-Stop,
the
Fair
Deal
panel
went
around.
That
was
one
of
the
things
that
came
back
and
I'm
sure
that
that
member
has
heard
on
his
doors
and
Beverly
Clearview,
because
I
have
a
shirt,
tail
aunt
and
uncle
that
live
over
there.
AP
That
they've
had
some
concerns
for
their
entire
life
over
the
overage
of
Ottawa
and
some
of
the
connotations
take
place
and
their
business
decisions
have
been
impacted
by
a
lot
of
that
as
well.
Anybody
in
the
energy
sector
had
been
impacted,
Trudeau
senior,
with
national
energy
program
that
didn't
affect
any
business,
we're
seeing
the
same
methodology.
I've
spoken
here
about
economic
corridors,
literally
a
way
of
pulling
together,
Northwest
Canada
to
work
together
in
collaborative
and
that
member
knows
full
well
what
that
means.
That
opposition
voted
against
that
motion.
AP
Now
we
have
economic
corridors
written
right
into
the
minister
of
transportation's
door
to
do
that
when
we're
talking
about
standing
up
for
albertans
and
what's
in
the
context
of
this
act,
it
is
100
within
the
Constitution
but
dealing
with
bullies
in
the
schoolyard.
Sometimes
you
got
to
let
them
know
if
they
keep
coming
across
that
fence.
If
they
keep
coming
into
your
weight,
maybe
you
might
bop
them
in
the
nose
we're
not
going
to
put
the
the
onus
on
business
to
do
that
the
government
will
take
it.
AP
Take
it
on
and
we'll
take
it
on
through
this.
This
house.
That's
the
concept.
So
here
is
what
the
opposition
is
so
worried
about
this.
This
is
inflammatory
things
that
we
want
to
scare
away
business
because
right
from
the
bill,
whereas
albertans
possess
a
unique
culture
and
share
an
identity
within
Canada.
AP
AP
Where
is
the
Constitution
Act
1867,
the
Constitution,
Act
1930,
and
the
Constitution
Act
of
1982
are
the
foundational
documents
and
established
rights
and
freedoms
albertans,
and
the
relationship
between
the
province,
provincial
and
federal
orders
of
government,
including
a
division
of
legislative
powers
between
them,
recognizing
that
our
constitution
is
valid
all
of
those
constitutional
acts
that
got
us
to
this
point,
and
the
reason
is
we're
tired.
Albertans
are
tired
of
it.
We
fight
way
above
our
weight
class.
AP
We
pay
more
than
we
do
than
we
do
we're
disproportionately
allowed
on
the
voting
process
and
every
time
it
happens,
their
methodology
before
was
appeasement.
Kind
of
like
Chamberlain
did
with
the
leader
of
Germany
Churchill,
had
to
came
in
and
fix
that,
because
you
know
what
keep
giving
more.
They
just
have
take
it
all,
whereas
the
province
of
Alberta
is
granted
rights
and
powers
under
the
Constitution,
Act
1867
1930,
and
let
me
guess,
1982.
AP
there
you
go.
These
are
things
that
just
freak
them
out
when
they
talk
democracy.
They
have
this
other
construct.
It's
more
of
a
socialist
democracy.
It's
right
in
there
the
way
they
operate
our
operandi,
whereas
action
states
by
Parliament,
Canada
and
the
government
of
Canada
have
infringed
on
The
Sovereign
rights
of
provincial
rights
and
Powers,
with
increasing
frequency
and
unfairly
prejudice.
Albertans
I
remember
seeing
cartoons
from
1910
talking
about
that
out,
west,
nothing
new.
AP
It
happened
the
last
year,
we're
not
doing
this
on
a
ton
of
other
things,
and
it's
not
working
so
finally,
they're
paying
attention
the
fact
that
again,
their
leader
when
asked
by
CBC,
if
she
would
allow
Trudeau
over
rules.
Well,
that's
a
grand
idea.
What
did
I
say
all
inside
voice
came
out
inside
voice
came
out.
Oh
my
gosh,
let's
delete
my
tweet,
but
you
know
the
good
thing
is
with
Twitter.
AP
Now
we
got
Elon
Musk
bought
it
I'm
actually
tempted
to
go
and
sign
up
on
it,
because
I
might
get
my
voice
heard
versus
this
other
slanted
stuff.
We
keep
hearing
and
hearing
otherwise,
whereas
the
people
of
Alberta
expect
the
parliament
of
Canada
and
the
government
Canada
to
respect
the
Constitution
Act
1867,
1930
and
1982
is
the
governing
documents
of
the
relationship
between
Canada
and
Alberta
to
abide
by
the
division,
powers
and
other
Provisions
set
open
those
documents.
AP
Now
the
opposition
was
heckling
because
I'm
just
reading
the,
whereas
because
it's
kind
of
the
context
of
how
it
sets
it
up,
not
some
fairy
tale,
pixie
dust,
Trudeau,
love
and
fan,
wave
and
Jag
meat
thing
like
why?
Don't
they
just
call
it
the
National
Socialist
Party
of
Canada
and
do
us
all
a
favor
they're.
All
one
party
anyway,
like
just
knock
off
the
posing.
AP
AP
I'm,
tired
of
this
where's,
the
necessary
and
appropriate
level
legislative
assembly
of
Alberta
to
set
out
the
measures
of
the
lieutenant
governor
in
Council
should
consider
taking
in
respect
the
actions
of
parliament
canned
and
the
government
of
Canada
that
are
unconstitutional
or
harmful
to
albertans
in
the
members
of
legislative
assembly
to
have
free
vote
free.
Imagine
that
what's
more
free
than
that
democracy,
thank
goodness
we're
standing
up
for
it
free
vote
in
such
measures
according
to
the
individual
judgment.
AP
AP
T
Then
thank
you.
Mr
chair,
I
Rise
under
23,
hi
and
J
and
I've
been
listening
to
the
member
for
a
while
now
and
he's
making
wild
comparisons
referring
to
Nazis
and
now
attacking
in
honorable
member
personally,
making
fun
of
him
I
think
if
he
has
anything
to
add
member
to
the
bill,
he
should
talk
about
the
bill.
Talk
about
the
amendment
that
we
are
on
that
how
this
bill
impacts,
the
business
Community.
The
language
member
is
using
it's
grossly
insulting
and
it
should
not
be
used
in
this
chamber.
T
AK
Whip,
thank
you,
Mr
Speaker.
It's
clear
that
this
is
a
matter
of
debate.
I've
heard
no
offensive
language
that
would
bring
the
house
to
any
kind
of
disunity
or
Discord
and
I'd
also
make
the
point.
Mr
Speaker
I
can't
wait
to
hear
which
it
is
going
forward.
H-I-R-J
in
23
it's
been
driving
me
nuts
for
four
years.
I
wish
we
could
pick
one
of
these
sub
clauses.
O
O
AP
Already
you
know,
I
don't
have
the
I,
don't
have
the
benefit
of
the
Blues,
but
I
do
have
the
benefit
of
what
I
said
now
how
they
heard
it
is
different.
So
I
could
he
said
he
could
weave
a
good
yarn
weave
a
good
yarn.
So
if
they
hear
gnarly
I
can't
help
what
they
hear,
but
what
I
said
and
perhaps
they're
not
picking
up
my
my
albertan
accent,
who
stands
up
for
the
province
very
well.
AN
In
relation
to
this
point
of
order,
that's
been
called
I
do
want
two
caution:
members
about
inflammatory
or
disruptive
language,
I
did
say
a
couple
days
ago
and
I
was
running
for
Deputy,
chair
of
committees,
that
one
of
my
hopes
was
to
ensure
that
we
do
have
healthy
debate
and
decorum
in
this
house
at
this
time.
I
do
not
find
a
point
of
order,
but
I
will
again
request
of
all
members
healthy
debate
and
respect
for
one
another.
AP
Appreciate
the
ruling
Mr
Speaker
and
bringing
me
back
to
a
higher
degree
of
decorum
and
I
shouldn't
be
sinking
to
their
level
when
they
reference.
You
know
for
foreign
leaders
invading
countries
as
an
example
and
those
type
of
things,
but
that's
not
offensive
to
them
only
to
us
so
back
with
the
amendment
they
basically
want
to
gas.
The
whole
thing:
can
it
send
it
back
everything
else,
instead
of
following
the
Democratic
process,
as
lied,
sorry
wandering
eye
as
lined
out
in
this
house
itself.
AP
This
is
the
second
reading
where
the
Amendments
typically
come
forward
on
the
ACT.
We
get
a
chance
to
debate
it
we're
all
for
that.
We
heard
our
new
premier
say
that
today,
but
instead
fire
and
brimstone,
we
want
to
say
that
everyone's
fleeing
the
province,
because
oh
my
gosh,
we're
standing
up
for
him
and
following
the
Constitution,
really
really
Mr
Speaker,
as
you
can
probably
tell,
and
those
at
home
I'm,
not
in
favor
of
this
amendment,
I
strongly
encourage
my
fellow
members
to
vote
no
to
this.
Let's
get
back
to
the
bill.
AP
Let's
do
what
we
can
to
help
albertans
stand
up
against
Ottawa
and
the
NDP
Federal
and
provincial
liberal
Alliance
of
the
non-stop
overreach
into
our
areas.
It's
time
to
tell
the
bullies.
We
respect
the
rule
of
law.
We
know
the
rules
of
the
law
or
equals
in
this
country.
You
better
start
treating
us
like
it,
but
we're
just
going
to
tell
you
no
thank
you.
Mr
Speaker.
AQ
Is
it
it
when
these
kind
of
organizations
are
coming
out
and
saying
that
this
bill
is
deeply
problematic
and
I
know
that
constitutional
Scholars
from
across
Canada
have
weighed
in
on
this
and
have
addressed
the
fact
that,
as
the
previous
member
said,
oh,
we
say
in
the
bill
that
this
doesn't
actually
violate
the
constitution.
They
the
Constitutional
Scholars,
say
you
can
say
that.
AQ
But
then,
if
you
actually
then
go
on
to
violate
the
constitution,
what
you
said
is
irrelevant,
and
that's
exactly
the
answer
to
the
to
the
previous
speaker
as
he
reads
out
the
sections
early
on
that
deny
what
is
actually
happening
later
on
in
the
very
same
bill,
and
so
it
just
tells
us
how
irrelevant
their
their
you
know
earlier.
Clauses
are
where
they
try
to
set
the
tone
in
order
to
slide,
underneath
that
somewhat
deceptive
tone
the
reality
that
they're
actually
challenging
the
room
of
law
in
Canada
that
they
are.
AQ
So
what
we
have
is
a
a
party
and
a
government
that
is
actually
working
against
the
fundamentals
of
the
Democratic
Society
and
they
can
deny
that
all
they
want,
but
the
people
who
are
experts
in
this
area,
the
Constitutional
experts,
tell
us
that
is
in
fact
what
they
are
doing,
and
you
know
I
think
that
that's
something
that
they
should.
They
should
take
very
seriously.
AQ
So,
in
fact,
you
know
the
Ministers
of
these
of
these
of
of
treasury
board
and
finance
a
minister
of
trade,
immigration,
multiculturalism,
the
minister
of
jobs,
economy
and
Northern
development,
the
minister
of
environment
and
protected
areas.
The
minister
of
Municipal
Affairs
all
have
already
voted
not
to
have
this
bill
now
they
have
suggested
that
somehow
there
are
some
changes
to
the
bill
since
it
was
originally
announced
that
makes
this
acceptable,
but
they
have
not
not.
One
has
stood
up
and
said.
This
is
the
specific
change
that
has
allowed
me
to
change.
AO
Brent
yeah
I
mean
my
question
and
I
guess
the
most
obvious
one
hanging
out
there
is
that
what
exactly
was
in
there
before
that?
They
changed
somehow
you
know
and
what
I
would
be
very
concerned,
because
I
mean
what
we
do
see
in
here.
Right
defies
the
division
of
of
democratic
decision
making
in
a
parliamentary
Westminster
system.
Right
so
I
mean
that's
still,
there
I
mean
Lord
knows
what
they
took
out
right,
I
guess,
but
you
know
the
very
existence
of
the
bill.
AO
I
would
suggest
you
know,
has
a
chilling
effect
on
investment
and
the
business
community
and
just
the
confidence
and
the
reputation
of
our
problems.
You
know,
and
even
the
title
you
know
putting
this
Alberta
sovereignty
within
a
United
Canada
Act.
You
know
it
seems
like
it
sort
of
has
a
built-in
excuse
right
into
the
title.
I
said:
oh
no,
it
wasn't
like
the
Alberta
separation
thing
that
we
were
thinking
about
before
it's
like
within
the
framework
of
something
else
like
it
feels
like.
AO
AQ
AQ
If
there
was
something
worse
than
that
in
the
bill
before
then
I,
that's
a
that's
quite
an
amazing
statement
by
the
part
of
all
of
these
ministers
who
stood
up
and
said
publicly
to
the
citizens
of
the
province
of
Alberta
that
this
was
a
terrible
bill
and
somehow
they
don't
think
it's
terrible.
Now
that
they're
actually
challenging
the
rule
of
law,
they're
challenging
Westminster
democracy
and
challenging
the
right
of
citizens
to
have
a
voice
in
the
construction
of
laws
in
this
province.
All
of
that
is
here
in
this
film.
AQ
No,
it
does
not
because
it
does
not
clearly
say
that
this
law
is
secondary
to
treaty
agreements
that
are
that
have
existed
prior
to.
It
says
that
one
should
not
assume
that
the
this
this
loss
of
birds,
but
again
it
has
that
Clause
has
no
standing
in
terms
of
limiting
the
effects
of
the
rest
of
the
bill
and
that's
exactly
what
the
Chiefs
are
concerned
about.
AQ
You
know
the
Chiefs
have
repeatedly
said
as
a
as
a,
for
example,
a
chief
Tony
Alexa
said:
please
have
this
government
hold
off
on
passing
the
sovereignty
act,
at
least
until
the
next
election?
Why
so
that
there
can
be
a
discussion
about
what
it
is?
What
is
proceeding
at
Grand
Chief?
The
treaty
eight
has
said
that
this
law
undermines
the
authority
and
duty
of
this
sovereignty.
Nations
that
entered
into
treaty.
AQ
There
are
repeated
statements
and
I
can
tell
you.
I
have
had
more
phone
calls
and
more
messages
from
Chiefs
across
this
province.
Who
are
saying
this
is
a
devastatingly
terrible
bill
and
it's
clear
that
they
are
concerned
that
this
is
really
intended
to
take
rights
away
from
indigenous
people
in
speaking
to
one
of
the
grand
Chiefs.
AQ
In
order
to
be
able
to
stop
the
the
terrible
activities
happening
at
the
Coots
border
crossing,
which
were
destroying
the
economy,
and
he
said,
I
need
to
get
to
the
point
on
this.
He
said
that
we
learned
at
that
time
that
that
bill
was
written
only
to
take
rights
away
from
indigenous
people,
that
it
was
not
being
used
against
non-indigenous
people.
The
bill
was
there,
but
it
was
not
being
used
at
the
time,
and
he
said
so
now.
AQ
We
are
in
this
position
where
the
bill
one
being
brought
in
by
this
Premier
is
again
saying.
Oh
no.
This
is
about
one
thing,
but
in
fact
is
designed
to
subvert
the
treaty
rights
of
indigenous
people
in
this
province,
and
they
know
that,
and
they
say,
we've
learned
that
from
the
experience
of
this
government
and
we
are
not
going
to
allow
them
to
proceed
in
this
way.
The
things
they're
concerned
about
have
been
spoken
about
by
this
government,
so
they
know
that
they're
right.
AQ
AE
AQ
AQ
Then
the
Chiefs
are
not
interested
in
participating,
they
want
to
be
at
the
table,
but
they
want
to
be
at
the
table
as
full
participants,
and
they
clearly
feel
that
this
government
has
has
has
found
a
way
to
undermine
their
rights
in
the
future
and
they're
very
worried
about
it.
And
you
can
say
what
you
want
about
me
standing
up
in
the
house
and
talking
about
it,
but
I
defy
you
to
go
and
talk
to
the
First
Nations
and
tell
them
that
they're
wrong,
because
they
are
very
mad
about
it
all
across
this
province.
AQ
AR
You,
member
and
I,
have
much
to
say
on
this
as
well,
but
I
just
want
to
take
a
moment.
You
know
not
unlike
well
to
a
different
extent,
but
the
initiatives
or
negotiations
that
are
happening
between
the
provincial
government
and
the
federal
government
and
and
our
our
treaties.
Of
course,
we
also
have
other
levels
of
elected
officials
who
are
trying
to
work
within
this.
AR
Specifically
when
we
look
at
the
idea
of
investing
and
economic
stability
and
I
have
real
concerns
somewhat
laid
out
here
in
the
legislation
under
resolution
section
three,
we
see
that
executive
Council
if
a
motion
of
a
member
of
executive,
Council
legislative
assembly
approves
a
resolution
that-
and
we
see
here
under
II-
causes
or
is
anticipated
to
cause
harm
to
albertans.
That's
very
concerning
when
we
consider
negotiations
that
often
happen,
whether
we're
talking
about
LRT
Investments,
whether
we're
talking
about
investments
into
housing
initiatives
across
Province.
This
legislation
is
potentially
going
to
have
consequences.
Thank
you.
AQ
Thank
you
remember,
I,
think,
that's
an
excellent
point
and
it
happens
to
address
exactly
one
of
the
other
things.
One
of
the
the
First
Nations
individuals
I
spoke
with
just
this
morning
was
saying
that
this
government
is
saying
we're
only
going
to
use
this
when
we
feel
like
our
interests
are,
are
somehow
being
maligned
by
the
federal
government
and
the
particular
phrase
that
this
person
brought
forward
to
me
was
the
fact
that
that
they're
saying
this
government
is
saying
that
they
will
be
defending
public
interest
and
what
she
said
to
me
was
our
experiences.
AQ
Whenever
this
government
says
public
interest,
they
do
not
mean
First
Nation
interests,
they
mean
their
interest
interests
of
their
particular
group
and
that
there
is
no
appropriate
definition
of
what
is
public
interest
here
in
this
act.
That
allows
them
to
feel
comfortable
that
their
concerns
and
their
interests
will
be
will
we
will
be
protected
and
supported,
and
they
they
certainly
don't
think
that
this
government
has
demonstrated
in
the
past
that
there
is
that
they
are
they
care
about
the
Treaty
rights
and
the
land
rights
of
indigenous
people.
AQ
AQ
That's
that
that
is
the
clear
and
specific
concern
that
they
are,
that
they
are
bringing
forward
and
they're
saying
that
they
cannot
support
this
bill.
They
have
not
been
consulted
on
this
bill.
They
are
very
upset
about
this
bill
and
there
is
the
no
attempt,
since
they
came
out
14
days
ago
against
this
bill.
There's
been
no
attempt
to
resolve
this
issue
and
to
withdraw
the
bill
and
until
the
rights
of
treating
people
have
been
protected
in
this
province,
and
so
how
can
they?
How
can
they
have
faith?
AQ
Their
experience
with
this
government
from
the
original
Bill
one
under
the
previous
Premier
was
that
the
the
government
really
isn't
very
much
interested
in
the
rights
of
indigenous
people
to
protect
their
rights
to
protest
to
to
to
cause
blockades
because
they
know
a
bill
was
written.
That
was
not
used
against
non-indigenous
people,
so
obviously
it
was
simply
written
to
be
used
only
against
indigenous
people.
AQ
That
telling
me
that's
why
I
am
standing
up
today
and
trying
my
best
to
convey
the
message
given
to
me
by
the
First,
Nations,
Chiefs
and
and
many
other
members
I've
met
with
Elders
this
morning.
I
was
a
pipe
Ceremony
this
morning
with
Elders
from
across
the
northern
part
of
Alberta,
and
they
all
share
the
same
thing
and
what
they're
asking
is
exactly
what
we're
asking
here
in
this
reasoned
Amendment.
Stop
this
bill,
move
this
bill
out
of
this
chamber.
AQ
Do
the
right
work,
protect
the
interests
and
the
rights
of
treaty
members
of
this
province,
we're
all
treating
members,
sorry
of
the
First
Nations
treaty
members
in
this
province
and
and
properly
make
sure
that
when
you
talk
about
defending
the
public
interests
here
in
Alberta
that
you
actually
are
talking
about
First
Nations
people
and
not
just
sort
of
saying
well,
there
are
albertans
too.
They
find
they
find
that
kind
of
statement
very
insulting.
AQ
There
is
a
specific
reference
made
recently
by
one
of
the
the
ministers
along
that
line
and
they
were
very
insulted
by
it.
Don't
be
saying:
oh
yeah
we're
protecting
all
albertans,
oh
yeah
they're
albertans
too,
they
are
First
Nations
people
with
First
Nations
rights,
and
they
are
distinct
and
significant
in
the
history
of
Canada
and
they
need
to
be
protected
in
a
particular
manner
moving
forward
and
their
own.
AN
AM
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker
I
stand
to
speak
and
support
of
Bill
one
and
against
the
referral.
Amendment
Alberta
sovereignty
within
a
United
Canada
Act
Mr
Speaker.
One
of
the
main
reasons
that
we
are
bringing
forth
this
bill
is
that
we
are
compelled,
in
fact,
to
protect
the
economic
well-being
of
Alberta.
AM
AM
AM
There
are
two
fundamental
issues
with
referring
to
Alberta
as
an
embarrassing
cousin.
One
is
that
our
prosperity
and
freedom
should
be
nothing
ever
to
be
ashamed
of.
It
is
part
of
our
Excellence.
It
is
why
individuals
and
families
come
from
all
over
the
world
to
come
to
Alberta,
to
work,
to
live
their
lives
and
to
raise
their
families.
But
the
other
thing
is:
is
that
the
former
Premier
referred
to
us
as
a
cousin,
Mr
Speaker?
That
is
the
problem.
AM
AM
The
purpose
of
this
bill
is
to
protect
our
economic
well-being,
but
Mr
Speaker
freedom
and
prosperity
is
the
priority
of
this
government,
but
we
have
to
understand
and
remember
that
the
federal
government
is
inextricably
connected
to
this,
our
economic
well-being.
It
is
naive
to
pretend
otherwise
and
Mr
Speaker.
The
NDP
are
very
naive,
Mr
Speaker.
It
is
an
unfortunate
necessity
to
protect
Alberta
our
freedom
and
prosperity
which
the
morally
and
fiscally
bankrupt
hostile
socialist
NDP
Trudeau
axis
government
seeks
to
undermine
and
attack,
but
Mr
Speaker.
Why
is
the
NDP
against
the
ACT?
AM
Is
it
because
Trudeau
Canada's
first
NDP,
prime
minister,
is
their
bosom
buddy
their
BFF?
They
are
confused.
They
do
not
understand.
Alberta
socialism
is
an
enemy
to
self-reliance.
Socialism
does
not
create
create
Prosperity,
it
undermines
it
Mr
Speaker.
Do
we
honestly
think
that
socialism
attracts
investment?
Is
that
what
they're
trying
to
tell
us
that
socialism
attracts
investment?
AM
AH
T
Rise
under
23
J,
referring
to
a
democratically
elected
government
of
this
province
as
an
occupation.
This
word
has
been
subject
of
point
of
order.
Many
times
before,
and
the
speaker
of
the
house
has
warned
this
member
multiple
times
to
not
use
this
word,
but
his
member
is
deliberately
using
this
word
to
create
disorder
in
this
house.
M
Deputy
house
leader,
thank
you
very
much.
Mr
Speaker
I've
been
listening
attentively
to
my
friends
comments
here
throughout
the
course
of
this
debate,
and
he
has
continued
to
stay
on
topic.
His
comments
are
relevant.
They
are
truly
a
matter
of
debate.
My
friend
references
an
alleged
caution,
but
cites
no
source
for
that.
This
is
a
matter
of
debate.
Mr,
Speaker
and
I
would
ask
that
you
find
that
it
is
not
a
point
of
order
and
that
you
allow
him
to
continue
with
his
on
point
relevant
comments.
AM
Mr
Speaker,
there
are
many
different
interpretations
of
the
Word
occupation.
I
know
that
many
business
owners
and
hard-working
albertans
felt
that
they
were
ignored,
that
they
were
that
their
rights
and
freedoms
and
prosperity
frankly
were
being
undermined
by
this
very
horrible
government
that
was
in
power.
AN
Honorable
members,
I
am
I,
am
prepared
to
rule
at
this
time
again.
I
want
to
step
forward
and
raise
a
caution
for
members
of
the
House
I
believe
we
have
had
discussions
around
the
phrase
occupation
used
in
this
house
prior
and
there
have
been
cautions
issued
I'd
like
to
once
again
issue
that
caution
to
all
members
to
choose
your
words
wisely
and
let's
continue
with
healthy
debate.
The
member
for
read
yourself.
AM
There
was
when
they
came
in
to
being
in
government
over
the
four-year
period
the
population
of
Alberta
grew,
and
yet,
at
the
end
of
their
four
years,
when
albertans
kicked
them
out,
Mr
Speaker,
when
they
were
kicked
out,
there
were
less
private
sector
jobs,
Mr
Speaker.
They
are
the
job
killers,
they
are
the
job
Killers
when
they
stand
and
talk
about
the
economy.
They
were
absolute
failures
and
the
record
shows
it
Mr
Speaker,
not
only
that,
but
they
scared
away
investment.
AM
They
chased
away
billions
of
dollars
of
investment,
Mr
Speaker,
who
who
likes
to
invest
in
a
socialist
country
in
a
socialist
Province.
They
don't
want
to
do
that.
They
chase
the
way
investment
and
their
record
shows
it
now.
What
I
can
say
is
under
our
government
is
our
private
sector
is
exploding,
we
are
bringing
in
jobs,
we
are
bringing
in
billions
of
dollars,
investment.
We
are
leading
the
nation
in
economic
growth.
We
have
a
huge
multi-billion
dollar
Surplus
under
the
this
prior
awful
awful
government
socialist
government.
AM
We
had
multi-billion
dollar
deficits,
they
were
a
horrible
government,
they
did
a
horrible
job.
I
went
and
knocked
on
the
doors
of
albertans
in
my
constituency
and
I
can
tell
you
that
I
saw
oil
and
gas
workers
who
were
out
of
work
because
of
them
because
of
their
destructive
NDP
dictates
them,
making
us
less
competitive,
Mr
Speaker
I
was
a
tax
lawyer
before
I.
Had
the
privilege
to
serve
in
this
in
this
institution.
AM
T
Deputy
this
time
it's
23b
speaks
to
matter
other
than
the
question
under
discussion.
Question
under
discussion
is
that
this
bill
will
negatively
impact
investment
decisions
and
it
should
not
proceed
in
order
to
protect
Alberta's
well-being.
Member
has
not
said
a
word
about
this
amendment
and
has
went
on
to
say
all
kind
of
things
that
are
not
relevant
to
this
debate
or
even
should
not
be
set
in
this
assembly.
M
Deputy
house
leader
here
this
is
once
again
clearly
not
a
point
of
order.
I,
don't
know
what
my
learned
friend
was
listening
to,
but
I
heard
that
the
honorable
member
for
Red
Deer,
South
speaking
about
investment
comparing
and
contrasting
the
two
different
governments
and
the
success
of
the
UCP
government
in
attracting
private
Enterprise
private
investment
to
this
province
and
how
the
member's
opposite
failed
horribly
in
doing
so.
That
is
a
matter
of
debate.
It
is
relevant
to
the
topic
at
hand
and
I
would
submit
to
you
that
this
is
not
a
point
of
order.
AN
Thank
you,
honorable
members,
you're
making
my
first
day
in
the
chair
lots
of
fun.
Thank
you.
I
do
want
to
say
that
I
do
not
find
this
to
be
a
point
of
order.
It
is
a
point
of
debate.
However,
I
know
with
regards
to
Bill
one.
We
have
chatted
about
phrases
like
staying
in
our
own
Lanes,
so
I
would
encourage
all
members
to
make
sure
that
they
are
staying
in
the
lanes
and
debating
the
amendment.
That's
at
hand.
Honorable
member
for
red
yourself
thank.
AM
You
Mr,
Speaker
well,
I,
have
to
say
the
truth
is
hard
to
take.
I
don't
know
if
this
is
hardly
a
matter
of
debate,
but
in
any
event
they
talked
about
chasing
away
investment.
They
were
horrible.
Our
government
is
doing
an
excellent
job.
Mr
Speaker,
but
Mr
Speaker
is
important
to
understand
that
we
are
succeeding,
not
because
of
the
federal
government,
but
in
spite
of
it
you
know
they
are
socialists.
They
are
cousins
to
the
NDP.
They
are
part
of
the
federal
NDP
socialist
axis
government
and
Mr
Speaker.
AM
AM
The
NDP
want
to
have
us
live
in
a
universe,
a
Perpetual
fear,
and
they
want
to
force
all
of
us
to
join
them,
but
Mr
Speaker.
Why
is
the
Alberta
sovereignty
within
a
United
Canada
Act
necessary?
Is
it
because
many
of
us
are
concerned?
We
are
our
sleepwalking
towards
disaster.
Yes,
is
it
because
Canada
is
acting
like
a
hostile
one
trillion,
plus
fiscal
train
wreck
attacking
Alberta
threatening
to
drag
us
down
with
it?
Yes,
Mr
Speaker.
AM
AM
AM
Alberta
is
the
rain
maker
partner,
a
partnership
that
undermines
and
attacks
its
Rainmaker
partner
would
never
survive
in
the
real
world
Mr
Speaker.
There
are
also
some
partners
that
game
this
partnership
and
take
from
Alberta
families
and
businesses
for
political
gain.
Mr
Speaker,
that
is
a
recipe
for
corruption.
The
moral
Foundation
of
such
a
partnership
is
eroding
a
partnership
where
work
is
displaced
by
plunder,
as
a
ruling
principle
will
never
survive
Mr
Speaker,
we
cannot
be
slothful.
AM
T
He
uses
abusive
language
garbage
language,
rubbish
language
that
should
be
beneath
this
house
and
I
think
you
provided
member
with
the
caution,
but
he
thinks
it's
funny
to
say
things
that
are
abusive.
That
will
likely
create
disorder
in
this
house.
That's
completely
waste
of
this
house
time
not
to
listen
to
your
caution.
I
urge
you
to
rule
these
kind
of
comments
out
of
order.
So,
member
of
friends
from
saying
this
again.
M
M
What
this
means
is
that
if
my
friend
had
used
the
word
to
call
the
member's
opposite
insensible,
there
would
be
no
point
of
order
if
he
said
that
they
were
near
unconscious
in
their
decision-making
process.
There
would
be
no
point
of
order.
Those
are
the
same
exact
words.
He
used,
albeit
using
different
terms,
to
refer
to
the
members
opposite.
There
is
absolutely
no
point
of
order
here.
It
is
simply
a
matter
of
debate
and
I
would
encourage
my
friends
on
the
other
side
of
this
house
to
look
at
the
thesaurus
before
raising.
AO
AN
All
members
I
am
prepared
to
rule.
This
has
been
a
long
15-minute
speech
and
I.
Don't
remember
any
time
in
recent
history
that
I've
seen
us
rise
on
three
points
of
order
at
one
speed.
I
do
want
to
I.
Do
want
to
oh
I
forgot
about
the
honorable
member
from
Edmonton
goldbar
apologize
I
will
not
let
that
happen
again.
AN
I
do
choose
to
rule
this
as
a
point
of
order.
At
this
point,
I
think
we
are
starting
to
get
off
the
rails
and
maybe
in
the
future,
I
would
encourage
you
all
a
member
from
Red
Deer
South
to
maybe
refer
to
his
thesaurus
in
front
of
him,
the
normal
member
from
Calvary
cross
and
maybe
choose
his
words
a
little
bit
more
widely
I
do
find
this
a
point
of
order
and
I
will
ask
the
honorable
member
to
continue
with
Decor.
Thank
you.
AM
Sure
I
rise
and
apologize
for
using
the
word
thoughtless,
stupor,
Mr
Speaker.
This
act
holds
the
federal
government
to
account
for
laws
and
actions
that
intrude
into
provincial
areas
of
jurisdiction
or
attack
the
interests
of
Alberta
Mr
speaker
doesn't
Ottawa
seek
to
do
indirectly.
What
constitutionally
it
is
not
allowed
to
do
directly,
such
as
with
albertus
constitutional
authority
over
its
oil
and
gas
resources.
AM
Didn't
Albert
court
of
appeal
describe
Trudeau's
carbon
tax
as
a
sneaky
constitutional
Trojan
course.
Yes,
isn't
Trudeau
Purdue
proposing
a
new
carbon
tax
or
cap
and
trade
that
singles
out
and
disproportionately
punishes
oberta?
Yes,
wouldn't
that
inflict
more
economic
chaos
chasing
out
additional
billions
in
investment
in
Alberta
jobs
with
it?
Yes,
Mr
Speaker.
AM
How
have
sternly
worded
letters
served
us?
Isn't
the
purpose
of
this
act
to
assert
and
defend
constitutional
parameters
that
Ottawa
habitually
ignores
and
attacks?
Yes,
Mr
Speaker
Ottawa
recently
released
a
discussion
paper
seeking
to
limit
or
impose
additional
carbon
taxes
on
oil
and
gas
development,
but
Mr
Speaker.
This
is
not
an
isolated
incident.
AM
This
is
a
pattern
of
hostile
behavior
from
Ottawa
seeking
to
attack
and
take
advantage
of
Alberta
holding
us
back
under
section
92a
of
the
Constitution
Act
Alberta
has
jurisdiction
over
its
natural
resources,
not
Ottawa.
This
act
should
be
invoked
to
tell
Ottawa
to
take
their
discussion
paper
and
stuff
it
and
leave
Alberta
and
their
constitutional
jurisdiction
alone.
