  • 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.

  • In Conversation with Fred Horne
    Insight In Conversation with Fred Horne Ken Tremblay Editor’s Note: In October 2011, several weeks after this interview, Mr. Horne was appointed minister of health by Alberta’s new Premier Alison Redford. irst elected on March 2008, Fred Horne was still a rookie member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Edmonton- Rutherford when he became parliamentary assistant to the minister of seniors and community support. By November F2010, he moved to a similar role with the minister of health and wellness. Concurrently, he served as chair of the legislature’s Standing Committee on Health, with a mandate to focus on primary care, continuing care and mental health. Horne’s career has been deeply rooted in healthcare, with numerous consultancy roles in health policy and a range of clients spanning government, agencies, health authorities and the private sector. With a master’s of business administration degree from Royal Roads University and post-graduate certification in dispute resolution from York University, he seems aptly qualified for the issues and challenges of healthcare, health policy and systems delivery. Horne’s fingerprints are prominent on several pieces of legislation, policy and system reviews, all positioned to place Alberta at the apex of performance and outcome measures in Canada. In June 2011, Horne showcased Alberta’s progress and track record in healthcare at the Canadian College of Health Leaders National Conference in Whistler, British Columbia. Ken Tremblay caught up with Horne over the summer. 30 Healthcare Quarterly Vol.14 No.4 2011 Ken Tremblay In Conversation with Fred Horne HQ: During your Whistler presentation, it became very professionals in team-based environments not only can review apparent that you are both articulate and wise regarding historical information but can share [current] information to the intricacies of the healthcare system, public policy and help achieve specific outcomes for patients.

  • 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.
