May 2012 Report MLA Compensation Review – Alberta May 2012 Report The Honourable J.C. Major, CC, QC REVIEW OF COMPENSATION OF MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY OF ALBERTA | MAY 2012 REPORT Review of Compensation of Members of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta A Report May 2012 Commissioner: The Honourable J.C. Major, CC, QC “MLAs must realize that their primary purpose is to maintain the integrity of democracy and that all of their actions should focus on that goal. Serving their constituents is noble, but does not necessarily protect the freedom of the individual inherent in democracy. Serving, legislating, regulating, debating, voting and all other MLA actions, if not properly focused, could erode our democratic principles.” The Honourable Raymond (Ray) Speaker, PC, OC Review of

Declining financial support from senior levels of government, public service reforms, and provincial policy interests in the 1990s caused Canadian municipalities to consider reforming their local water utilities. The current water governance literature argues that local financial circumstances condition the types of public policy decisions and governance reforms municipalities make, making these decisions contextual.

    1 Leader’s Message ​ Albertans are tired of the divisive partisanship that has enveloped our province from the left and the right. While the other parties have spent this election yelling about which one of them is worse, the Alberta Party has talked about how we’ll build a better Alberta. We can build a great economy and have a kind society. We don’t have to choose between one and the other. Our platform demonstrates that truth. It outlines how an Alberta Party government would bring Alberta’s economy back to life, while investing in health, education and other key services that are vital for ensuring a high quality of life for Alberta families. And it illustrates our commitment to vigorously advance our province’s interests. Now more than ever, Albertans need someone in their corner who can cut through partisanship, solve problems, and deliver government with fiscal sense and common sense. With no federal masters, the Alberta Party is only loyal to Albertans. We’re the only party that can say that. Like most Albertans, when I think about our province’s future, I think about our children. We want them to grow up in an Alberta with plenty of opportunity, and one that’s kind and inclusive, where they can chase their dreams. With your support, we can provide a government that offers them, and all Albertans, a brighter future. Let’s build the next Alberta. Together.
