EDMONTON – Government House Leader Jason Nixon says he will advise the Speaker to call MLAs back to the legislature on Oct. 20.

A news release sent out late on Monday says the government “will bring forward important legislation to keep platform commitments on electoral reform and renewal, while continuing to deliver policies that will build infrastructure, diversify our economy and create jobs now.”

Nixon says in the release that Albertans “expect their government to be all-in on delivering on policies that will get people back to work, diversify our economy and build the infrastructure Albertans rely on.”

The release also states the UCP will work with Opposition to ensure best health practices are adhered to and everyone remains healthy.
