2011-2012 Hansard Speaker Index

The Alberta Hansard Index is designed to provide easy access to topics discussed in the Legislative Assembly. For this reason it corresponds strictly to the text of Alberta Hansard.

Format The index is in two sections: (1) subject index, and (2) speaker index.

The table below is a list to date of Alberta Hansard issue numbers, dates, and page ranges, with links to the text document.

The index itself starts following the table. Use the search capabilities of Adobe Acrobat to search the index and find the topic you are interested in; note the page number(s) associated with it. Then click on the page number range in the table below to open the issue.

NOTE: For the fiscal year 2011-12, main estimates for each department are dealt with either in policy field committees (PFCs) or in Committee of Supply. The indexes for the main estimates considered in PFCs are therefore no longer incorporated into the Hansard index but will be included with the separate proceedings for each policy field committee.
