MLAs back in the legislature on Wednesday
Alberta MLAs will return to the legislature on May 27 to begin spring sitting.
“With more Albertans heading back to work, it is only fair the province’s policy-makers convene in Edmonton to debate legislation critical to getting the province back on track after a protracted commodities price war and COVID-19,” said government house leader Jason Nixon in a release. “We are resilient people, but the need for government to be laser-focused on job creation, creating certainty for industry and protecting vulnerable Albertans has never been more acute. These will be our main goals as we ease into relaunching the province.”
MLAs will sit weekly until July 22, with the exception of the week of June 29.
According to the government, at least 10 pieces of legislation will be introduced this session, including affirming parental rights to make important choices about their children’s education, strengthening public safety and cutting red tape.
