October 9, 2009 Ministerial Forum Toolkit The AAMDC has introduced a new toolkit for members to use at the Fall 2009 Convention. Our Ministerial Forum Toolkit includes minister information, portfolios and current issues for each provincial ministry. We believe members will find this toolkit useful when formulating questions to pose at the ministerial forum or to understand which departments have a hand in matters of significance to rural municipalities. The Ministerial Forum Toolkit is attached to this bulletin in PDF form. It is also available online here.

    Universities Receive Approval to Address Market Anomalies One-Time Tuition Fee Adjustments Will Help Balance Affordability and Quality

    April 7, 2010 Universities receive approval to address market anomalies One-time tuition fee adjustments will help balance affordability and quality Edmonton... One-time tuition fee adjustments for six professional programs will help Alberta’s two biggest universities maintain quality without compromising affordability for students. Minister of Advanced Education and Technology, Doug Horner approved the adjustments to address market anomalies that existed when tuition fees were capped in 2004. The increases will not apply to students who are currently in these programs or making plans for this coming fall. They will be implemented for new students starting in fall 2011. “These adjustments will ensure the continued quality of these programs,” said Horner. “Students have indicated their support and I understand that some are working with their universities to see a percentage of the new revenue reinvested into student supports, like scholarships and bursaries.” A total of 24 proposals were received from five institutions. The six accepted proposals are for Engineering, Pharmacy, Bachelor of Commerce and Graduate Studies programs at the University of Alberta and Bachelor of Commerce and Masters of Business Administration programs at the University of Calgary. Increases of between $800 and $3,300 per year were approved based on an anomaly existing in 2004, support from student associations, and keeping costs comparable to other programs in Canada. “These have not been easy decisions to make. You have to look at the proposals on a case-by-case basis,” said Horner. “In the end, what it really comes down to is finding the right balance between affordability and quality.

    Premier Stelmach Sets out Priorities; Names New Cabinet, Reorganizes Portfolios Changes to Government Structure Reflect Government Priorities

    March 12, 2008 Premier Stelmach sets out priorities; names new Cabinet, reorganizes portfolios Changes to government structure reflect government priorities Edmonton... Premier Ed Stelmach has laid out the priorities for his new administration, reorganizing portfolios and adding four new ministries. The Premier also named his new Cabinet which features new faces and new assignments for previous members, and introduces the role of parliamentary assistants who will help support ministers on key projects. "This Cabinet and new government structure will focus on building a stronger Alberta and improving the lives of Albertans,” said Premier Stelmach. “The Cabinet team balances experience and new perspectives and is well skilled for the work ahead.” The new Cabinet will be focused on five priorities: ensuring Alberta’s energy resources are developed in an environmentally sustainable way; increasing access to quality health care and improving the efficiency and effectiveness of health care service delivery; enhancing value-added activity, increasing innovation, and improving the long-run sustainability of Alberta’s economy; reducing crime so Albertans feel safe in their communities; and providing the roads, schools, hospitals and other public infrastructure to meet the needs of a growing economy and population. Changes to the government structure will help better meet these priorities. Government’s increased focus on culture is reflected in the new Ministry of Culture and Community Spirit which also has responsibility for the voluntary sector and the Human Rights Commission. The new Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs will help fulfill government’s plan to ensure affordable housing is available to all Albertans and to address emerging urban issues.
