Competitiveness, Jobs and Investment Strategy
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:
- Create an Alberta’s Future Tax Credit targeting growth in emerging industrial sectors
- Supercharge the Alberta Petrochemical Incentive Program we created when in government
- Use Performance Fast Pass to speed up the approvals of projects for responsible companies
- Consult with Indigenous communities on expansion of the Alberta Indigenous Opportunity Corporation
- 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.
Alberta must compete. Decisions we make this year will have long-lasting implications for Alberta’s future.
