Several southern Alberta MLAs have been named to cabinet committee roles in the UCP government.

Cabinet policy committees are vital to the work of government and contribute to reviewing policy decisions, setting long-range strategic priorities and contributing to proposals and reviews of legislation and regulation.

“I want to thank the cabinet ministers and MLAs who are stepping up to take on this important work on behalf of all Albertans,” said Premier Danielle Smith in a statement. “As we continue to hear from Albertans and Alberta organizations and businesses, it’s critical that we have robust conversations throughout the process. Each committee member brings a mix of experience and new perspectives to find solutions to our province’s immediate priorities, including growing and diversifying our economy, building safe, strong communities, and defending Alberta’s interests.”
