Throughout the fall sitting, Alberta’s government introduced, debated and passed 14 pieces of legislation. On top of legislation, government also brought forward two vital motions that directly support Alberta’s interests.

The first was a motion to endorse the Alberta-Ottawa memorandum of understanding, unleashing Alberta’s energy sector and paving the way for new investment including a new pipeline that will double oil exports to Asian markets. The second motion, under the Sovereignty within a United Canada Act, protects law-abiding gun owners from federal overreach through the gun confiscation scheme.

“Through a robust legislative agenda, our government has successfully delivered on keeping Alberta the best place to live, work and play. On top of this, we are the best place to invest and do business, something we have made even more true through work during this sitting. I, along with my colleagues, are proud to stand in defence of Albertans, our economy and their well-being.”

Joseph Schow, Government House Leader

Legislation passed this sitting includes the International Agreements Act, making it clear that Alberta expects to be at the table when the federal government signs international deals that affect industries or matters that fall under provincial jurisdiction. The Public Safety and Emergency Services Statutes Amendment Act, 2025 (No. 2) continues work to establish the Alberta Sheriffs Police Service, increasing safety and enhancing police across the province. The Protecting Alberta’s Children Statutes Amendment Act, 2025 reaffirms and upholds Alberta’s commitment to preserving choice for young people and keeps female athletes safe from dangerous or unfair competition.

Other highlights include:

  • Education (Prioritizing Literacy and Numeracy) Amendment Act, 2025 (No. 2), which implements mandatory reading and math screening for students in kindergarten to Grade 3.
  • Utilities Statutes Amendment Act, 2025*, which provides data centres with more options to meet their power needs and enhance the reliability of the power grid.
  • Red Tape Reduction Statutes Amendment Act, 2025 (No. 2), which reduces regulatory burden for Albertans and businesses, enables citizenship markers on government ID and increases labour mobility by reducing barriers that prevent or delay foreign-trained professionals from working in Alberta.
  • Health Statutes Amendment Act, 2025 (No. 2), which modernizes the health care system and improves access to essential health services for all Albertans. This legislation includes the creation of a dual practice model that gives physicians flexibility to work in both public hospitals and private clinics, increasing the number of surgeries and reducing wait times for Albertans.
  • Financial Statutes Amendment Act, 2025 (No. 2) ($), which includes the creation of the Alberta Disability Assistance Program (ADAP), a massive step forward in helping Albertans with disabilities seek meaningful job opportunities while continuing to receive the supports they need, instead of the current one-size-fits-all approach.
  • The Regulated Professions Neutrality Act ensures regulated professionals may freely express themselves while still being entitled to fair treatment by professional regulatory bodies, restoring fairness and neutrality, so regulators can focus on competence and ethics, not policing beliefs.
  • Justice Statutes Amendment Act, 2025, which preserves the democratic process and keeps it clear and understandable for voters. This includes not allowing new political parties to adopt similar names as existing parties and limiting the ability for organized groups to flood ballots with candidates, as has been seen in recent elections.

Looking ahead, Alberta’s government is preparing for the return to the Legislature in the spring to continue delivering results on the issues that matter to Albertans.
