Premier Smith outlines key actions for Alberta ministers in mandate letters

According to a media release from the Government of Alberta, some of the highlights from these letters include:

Diversifying Alberta’s economy and attracting investment, which would provide job opportunities for Albertans.
Advocating for Alberta’s agriculture industry and working with partners to further modernize the sector and grow Alberta’s agri-food market.
Building on the province’s competitive advantage in traditional industries and identifying ways to improve market access to continue to be a global supplier of energy and food.

Smith went on to say, “Alberta’s economy has real momentum. More and more job creators are recognizing the benefits of doing business in our province and that leads to more jobs for Albertans looking for work.”

“We have made real progress in diversifying our economy, and we want to see even more,” she added. “By continuing that work, we will ensure that Alberta businesses, and all Albertans and their families, can prosper and benefit from Alberta’s strong economy.”

Letters to the ministers of Agriculture and Irrigation; Forestry, Parks and Tourism; Jobs, Economy and Northern Development; Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction; Technology and Innovation; Treasury Board and Finance; and Transportation and Economic Corridors were received over the past few days and can be read on the Government of Alberta website.

A final set of letters will be issued later this week, addressing Smith’s commitments on health care and skilled labour.
