    AB Today – Daily Report September 28, 2020 Quotation of the day “It’s a bad omen.” NDP Municipal Affairs critic Joe Ceci said the UCP offered little in the way of a relationship ​ ​ reset with municipalities at the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association conference. Today in AB On the schedule The house will reconvene on Tuesday, October 20. Committees this week The Select Special Public Health Act Review Committee will meet in the afternoon on Tuesday and Wednesday, as well as all-day Thursday to draft its final report. The committee was established to correct potential government overreach authorized by the UCP’s controversial Bill 10. ​ Premier watch Premier Jason Kenney spoke at the Police and Peace Officers’ Memorial Day ceremony at ​ ​ Calgary City Hall on Sunday. UCP warns municipalities of tough times ahead UCP heavyweights discussed the province’s plan to get Alberta’s municipalities out of the economic quagmire at the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association’s conference Friday — but didn’t offer a major bailout or funding reform. Premier Jason Kenney told conference attendees “there’s no point in trying to deny the reality” ​ ​ of Alberta’s grim fiscal picture, noting the province’s GDP is expected to shrink by 20 per cent this year. Newly minted Municipal Affairs Minister Tracy Allard echoed Kenney’s message during the ​ ​ conference’s virtual bear pit session, which gives local lawmakers the chance to grill members of cabinet. “I hate to say this, but it has to be said — there is a fiscal reckoning coming,” Allard said. Allard suggested big funding increases won’t be coming and that new cash flows can no longer be relied upon to pave over municipalities’ fiscal “sins.” “They cannot be covered up any longer by the revenue that’s no longer here,” she said.

    Jason Kenney Elected Leader of UCP October 30, 2017

    Jason Kenney Elected Leader of UCP October 30, 2017 JASON KENNEY ELECTED LEADER OF THE UNITED CONSERVATIVE PARTY OF ALBERTA Introduction In a victory surprising for its size and decisiveness, Jason Kenney won the leadership of the United Conservative Party of Alberta (UCP) on Saturday, October 28. Kenney took 61.1 per cent of the almost 60,000 votes cast, besting former Wildrose Party leader Brian Jean with 31.5 per cent, and 7.3 per cent for Doug Schweitzer, who managed the late Jim Prentice’s Progressive Conservative leadership campaign in 2014. Background The win capped a fifteen-month process that began when Kenney launched the idea of uniting Alberta Conservatives into one party, and is a significant tribute to his organizational skills and superior ground game. Kenney’s success had several key steps: • On July 16, 2016, he announced he would seek the leadership of the Progressive Conservative Party on a platform of merging with Wildrose. • On March 18, 2017, he was elected leader of the Progressive Conservative Party with more than 75 per cent of the delegate votes. • Two months later, Kenney and Brian Jean announced a merger referendum among the membership of the PCs and Wildrose to be held on July 22. • The referendum was strongly passed by both parties by identical approvals of 96 per cent, which created the United Conservative Party and led the way to last Saturday’s leadership victory. Deep Political & Government Experience Born in Toronto and raised in Saskatchewan, Jason Kenney began his political life as a Liberal in 1988, serving as executive assistant to Ralph Goodale, then leader of the provincial Liberal Party.

    Inspiring Service, Growing Value May 27, 2021 Premier Jason Kenney Government of Alberta 10800 97 Ave Edmonton, Alberta Dear Pr

    May 27, 2021 Premier Jason Kenney Government of Alberta 10800 97 Ave Edmonton, Alberta Dear Premier: Re: Open for Summer Plan On behalf of more than 700 Alberta Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA) members, I would like to thank you and your government for your continued support for hotels, restaurants, and the hospitality industry. Your announcement of the extension of the Tourism Levy abatement to June 30, 2021, and the Open for Summer plan, which clearly defines a path to recovery, have provided much needed hope to hoteliers who are focussed on getting back to business this summer. In support of the Open for Summer Plan, the AHLA is encouraging hotels to: 1. Talk to their staff about the importance of getting vaccinated, and supporting them to do this in any way they can. This may include one on one conversations to provide accurate information and address vaccine hesitancy, or helping with transportation or child care arrangements. 2. Assure the health & safety of employees and guests alike to build consumer confidence when it is time to travel safely once again. To this end, we have developed the AHLA Safe Accommodation Promise (ASAP). In under five months, over 25,000 hotel rooms have achieved the ASAP designation, including some of Alberta’s largest and most iconic properties. 3. Apply for the provincial Small and Medium Enterprise Relaunch Grant. 4. Apply for the Alberta Jobs Now program when they are able to hire again. Our members look forward to welcoming business and leisure travelers and events once again. We thank your government for the measures it has taken to protect public health and restart Alberta’s struggling tourism economy.

    Guide to Alberta's Governing Party

    Guide to Alberta’s Governing Party The Governing Party Cabinet BACKGROUND The Cabinet, also known as the Executive Council, is made up of the Premier and Cabinet Ministers. As head of the Executive Council, the Premier selects Cabinet Ministers from MLAs of the governing party to lead a Ministry. As such, citizens do not elect their Cabinet Ministers in direct elections. However, Cabinet Ministers are elected representatives of the Legislative Assembly and play an important role in our system of governance. (From CCVO’s Election Toolkit in the Chapter 4: Navigating the Alberta Government). On the following page is a list of those in the current Governing Party Cabinet, following the 2019 Alberta provincial election. Please take note of Ministries that are important to your organization’s mission and mandate. There are 21 Ministries and 2 Parliamentary Secretaries in total. Please find more information, including bios and priorities for each minister here. In addition to these important appointments listed on the following page, the government also announced deputy ministers. Deputy ministers are crucial contacts in ministries, as they are responsible for day-to-day operations and can be very valuable allies. Find a full list and bios of deputy ministers here.
