GRANDE PRAIRIE, AB. – Premier Jason Kenney says his government’s blueprint to reboot Alberta’s distressed economy will be announced Monday in Calgary.

Kenney claims it will be a bold and ambitious plan to make strategic investments to get people working right now and in the long-term.

There will reportedly be record spending on public infrastructure, including areas such as health care and transportation.

It will be a plan for a province that was looking at a $7-billion budget deficit this year before getting slammed by the COVID-19 pandemic and a global oil price war.

The budget deficit for this year is now pegged at $20-billion.
