Managing Alberta’s growth tops throne speech
Monday, March 12th, 2007Premier Ed Stelmach’s government is promising Albertans a plan to manage the province’s rapid growth.
In a speech from the throne on Wednesday, Lt. Gov. Norman Kwong delivered the promise at the opening of the first legislative session under Stelmach, who became leader of the Tory party in December after Ralph Klein resigned.
“The government of Alberta has reinforced its determination to effectively manage the pressures that come with rapid economic growth,” Kwong said.
“It will act decisively to minimize the price we are all paying for prosperity and address pressures on housing, labour, infrastructure and the environment.”
