Blue Ribbon Panel appointed to assess Alberta’s finances
EDMONTON, AB – The Alberta government has appointed an independent panel of experts it describes as a critical first step in getting the province’s budget back to balance.
The Blue Ribbon Panel on Alberta’s Finances has been directed to do a deep dive into Alberta’s finances and economy. The focus will be on identifying areas to eliminate waste, duplication and non-essential spending to create the space to fund the government’s key priorities.
Premier Jason Kenney says Albertans elected a government committed to getting the fiscal house in order and reversing the province’s dive into debt.
