Alberta Next: Should Alberta Change Its Place in Canada?

Official title: Alberta Next Panel engagement

Open Policy & Studies Economy & Jobs Justice & Rights
Alberta is asking residents how the province should protect its interests and assert its place in Confederation. A panel of leaders, experts, and community voices will gather input through town halls and other events. Their recommendations go to the government by December 31, 2025.

Why This Matters

This is about Alberta's future relationship with the rest of Canada. Whether you're worried about federal policies affecting Alberta's economy, or you want the province to stay fully engaged in Confederation, this is your chance to weigh in. The panel's recommendations could shape major policy decisions.

What Could Change

The panel could recommend changes to how Alberta interacts with the federal government. This might include new provincial powers, changes to transfer payments, or other measures to 'defend Alberta's economy.' The government will receive these recommendations by year-end 2025.

Key Issues

  • How should Alberta better protect its interests within Canada?
  • How can Alberta defend its economy from federal policies?
  • What should Alberta's place in Confederation look like?
