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. -
AB Today – Daily Report October 15, 2020
AB Today – Daily Report October 15, 2020 Quotation of the day “There will be tough decisions in the short term so we can sustain services into the future.” Finance Minister Travis Toews indicates cuts are coming in the 2021 budget. Today in AB Written by Catherine Griwkowsky On the schedule The house will reconvene Tuesday, October 20, for the fall session. In the legislature Justice Minister Kaycee Madu met with the Métis Settlements General Council in the legislature on Tuesday to discuss policing as part of the government’s ongoing review. Next spring’s budget will include cuts, finance minister teases Finance Minister Travis Toews warned “tough decisions” are ahead as he invited public feedback ahead of budget 2021. To reduce spending, the finance minister said he is looking at creating “efficiencies” in the public sector. “It’s clear the status quo is not sustainable, but this is also a great opportunity to reset our course, not only for the next fiscal plan, but for future generations of Albertans,” Toews told reporters. “There will be tough decisions in the short term so we can sustain services into the future.” While the UCP ran on a promise of balanced budgets, the pandemic — and ensuing oil price collapse and economic challenges — has thrown those plans for a loop. “The four-year fiscal plan we introduced with Budget 2019 was working,” Toews said. “Since that time, Alberta has been hit by a very serious triple black swan event.” The deficit is on track to hit a record high of $24.2 billion in 2020-21, with debt forecast to hit $99.6 billion by March 31, 2021. -
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.
