| MLA Legislature Report Alana DeLong, MLA
Speech From the Throne: The speech outlines a new approach by the Alberta government that reflects the values and priorities of Albertans. The five priorities are: governing with integrity and transparency; managing growth pressures; improving Albertans' quality of life; providing safe and secure communities; and building a stronger Alberta. The speech also re-affirmed the government's commitment to protecting the environment and addressing climate change. Plans include Canada's first legislated greenhouse gas emission intensity reduction targets for large industrial emitters. Highlights of the speech also included the government's plans to address pressures on housing, labour, infrastructure and the environment; develop a comprehensive energy strategy that will ensure sustainable resource development and environmental stewardship; develop a long-term capital plan to address infrastructure needs and inflation costs; finalize a sustainable long-term funding arrangement with municipalities; and develop a surplus management policy. Please feel free to call my constituency office if you’d like to receive a full copy of the Speech From the Throne by mail. Also, the speech is available online at www.alberta.ca.
