A Real Action Plan For Alberta
To Albertans who ask why they should choose the Alberta Liberals, we make five important commitments.
We will:
- Eliminate health care premiums now.
- Re-regulate electricity to lower Albertans’ power bills.
- Invest 30% of all royalties starting now, before it’s too late.
- Cap greenhouse gases in five years, through an active partnership with the energy industry.
- Provide the hospitals and train the health care professionals Alberta needs, now.
In the sections that follow, A Real Action Plan For Alberta sets out our detailed and comprehensive plan for our province, so please read on.

Government That Truly Serves Albertans
Democracy has become derailed in Alberta. Let’s put it back on track.
The Alberta Liberals will define and shape genuine democratic processes that restore people’s involvement in government. We will be inspired by the possibilities of activating democracy at every level of politics.
Child Care
Child Care That Works for Alberta Families
Alberta invests less per child care space than any other province in Canada. How is that possible? The Alberta Liberals see child care funding not as an expense, but as an investment, and one that will pay long-term dividends.
Fueling Alberta’s Future
Around the world, societies that flourish and prosper have two things in common: competitive taxes and great education systems. The Alberta Liberals will invest 30 per cent of royalties to keep our taxes competitive forever, and we will use part of that endowment to build up some of the finest educational institutions anywhere.
Protecting Our Communities
An Alberta Liberal government will provide the necessary support to communities and first responders to ensure that safety is a priority.
Sustainable Forests
An Alberta Liberal government will support a strong, sustainable forestry industry.
Aboriginal Affairs
Strengthening Aboriginal Communities
Aboriginal communities deserve to be treated with respect.
Strengthening Our Foundation
The richest province in Canada should be able to properly maintain its roads, schools and hospitals.
Human Services
Governing With Compassion
An Alberta Liberal government will treat our society’s most vulnerable citizens with the compassion and respect that they deserve.
Arts and Culture
Building the Creative Economy
A vibrant creative community is an essential part of a thriving, smart society. An Alberta Liberal government will spark a renaissance in arts and culture in Alberta.
Leadership in Public and Advanced Education
An Alberta Liberal government will properly fund public education. We will take steps to improve our post-secondary institutions while at the same time making them more accessible.
Flourishing in a Healthy Environment
Alberta Liberals will reverse years of foot-dragging, and make Alberta a world leader in addressing environmental issues including climate change, water protection, and land stewardship.
Leadership in Public Health Care
An Alberta Liberal government will strengthen and improve sustainable public health care, not dismantle it.
Ensuring Alberta is a Place We Can Afford to Call Home
What could be more important than having a safe and comfortable home? In a province without a plan, housing prices have skyrocketed beyond the reach of many families, and Albertans are suffering.
The Other Alberta
While most Albertans enjoy a standard of living the envy of much of Canada, there is another Alberta where children grow up in poverty, even when their parents work full-time.
An Alberta Liberal government will take action to break the cycle of poverty.
Fairness and Safety in the Workplace
The Alberta Liberals believe in fair and equitable treatment of the workforce. Workers deserve to be valued and treated with respect.
Stronger Municipalities
An Alberta Liberal government will build a working partnership between the province and its municipalities, ending years of rancour and dependence.
Sustainability for Rural Alberta
A healthy Alberta economy for the long term needs to fire on all pistons. Alberta’s most sustainable sector is agriculture, if we tend to it carefully.
Assistance for Seniors
Alberta’s seniors have made so many contributions to our province. They deserve to feel respected and valued by their government.
Meeting the Needs of Business
With Alberta’s economy booming, small and medium-sized businesses are finding many opportunities to profit from rising incomes and strong demand. At the same time, the boom has brought very significant challenges.
