An Alberta NDP government will introduce a Kids Activity Tax Credit — to cover the cost of activities like music lessons, sports & STEM programs for every Alberta child under 18. Our plan means more opportunities. To learn new things. Score more goals. And follow their dreams.

Three Calgary hospitals are so understaffed for surgeries this weekend that doctors say it means either major delays or dangerous situations. We need a government that will deliver better healthcare for you and your family.

Alberta NDP Commits to Red Deer Hospital Expansion

UCP chaos delayed the project

The people of Red Deer and central Alberta deserve their regional hospital to be a priority. The UCP’s handling of the Red Hospital expansion has been chaotic and incompetent.

Rachel Notley will prioritize the completion of the Red Deer Regional Hospital.

An Alberta NDP Government will:

  1. Press forward urgently with the expansion of the hospital, and explore any opportunity to speed up the timeline
  2. Recruit and train new healthcare workers to ensure the hospital is fully staffed
  3. Be transparent with the project’s timeline and communicate any changes

The UCP has failed to deliver any substantial progress on expanding the Red Deer Hospital. After nearly four years they have quietly delayed the project even further.

We will never pursue a P3 construction model for the hospital, as these models only lead to further delays.

We will provide stable, competent leadership that will end the chaos in healthcare in central Alberta.

Competitiveness, Jobs and Investment Strategy

UCP stalled wage growth and investment

We must build on the past and look towards the future with ambition.
Alberta has among the slowest wage growth in Canada. Under the UCP, capital investment stalled.

We will reinvigorate Alberta’s investment climate. There are massive job creation opportunities – which the UCP is not seizing.

Our proposals will create over 47,000 good-paying jobs and attract an estimated $20 Billion in private sector investment.

Our strategy:

  1. Create an Alberta’s Future Tax Credit targeting growth in emerging industrial sectors
  2. Supercharge the Alberta Petrochemical Incentive Program we created when in government
  3. Use Performance Fast Pass to speed up the approvals of projects for responsible companies
  4. Consult with Indigenous communities on expansion of the Alberta Indigenous Opportunity Corporation
  5. Repeal Danielle Smith’s job-killing, anti-Canadian Sovereignty Act

The historic incentives in the United States’ Inflation Reduction Act is pulling billions of dollars of investment south.

CITY NEWS: This increase comes a couple of days before the government will drop the remaining four cents per litre gas tax that they have been charging the last few months.

Meanwhile, NDP energy critic, Kathleen Ganley, issued a statement asking the government to take action.

“Giving Alberta drivers a break at the pumps only works if gas prices actually come down — and stay down,” Ganley said. “Albertans have experienced price increases just as the fuel tax was removed in the past, and I fear that may be happening again.”

She adds Albertans need actual help, as they continue to deal with inflation “and the second-lowest wage growth in Canada.”

“Alberta’s NDP is once again calling for a full audit of gas prices. Albertans deserve to know what is driving cost, and to know that their government will take action to prevent any price gouging,” Ganley said.

Prices can still be found as low as $1.08 and $1.09 a litre if you look around.
