This spring, Alberta’s government will present Budget 2025 alongside a suite of common-sense legislation that will increase clarity, efficiency and accountability within the province.
This session will see Alberta’s government take action to support the implementation of measures announced in Budget 2025, modernizing existing legislation and reducing red tape, ensuring the province’s laws remain relevant, easy to understand and attractive to investors.
“Alberta’s government is heading back to the legislature to continue to work for Albertans. In the face of the shifting geopolitical landscape and a federal government preoccupied with its own internal bickering rather than guiding the country through these uncertain waters, our government will be taking decisive action to ensure Alberta is best positioned to meet challenges as they come.”
Among the proposed legislation for the spring session is an act that would provide a uniform governance framework for professional regulatory organizations, so they can continue the important work of protecting the public interest of Albertans. Additional legislation would support Albertans’ understanding of addiction treatment services, providing confidence that providers are aligned with the standards set out by the Alberta Recovery Model.
Alberta’s government will also be introducing several pieces of legislation to help Albertans face the rising cost of living. Legislation would ensure Albertans have access to the utilities they need when they need them, at a price they can afford, and would enable better, faster, cheaper auto insurance for Alberta drivers.
The work in the assembly will be in addition to the government’s ongoing efforts to de-escalate border and trade tensions with the U.S. amid uncertainty in global geopolitical and energy markets, reduce barriers to interprovincial trade, and maintain Alberta’s status as the best place to live, work, and raise a family.
Alberta’s government will table approximately 20 pieces of legislation this session, including*:
- Agriculture and Irrigation Statutes Amendment Act
- Automobile Insurance Act
- Financial Statutes Amendment Act
- Mental Health Services Protection Amendment Act
- Professional Governance Act
- Public Safety and Emergency Services Statutes Amendment Act
- Red Tape Reduction Statutes Amendment Act
- Utilities Statutes Amendment Act
- Wildlife Amendment Act
