Happy New Year! I hope your holiday season was filled with joy, peace, family, and friends.
Last fall’s legislative session was busy. Bill 3: The Private Vocational Training Act, my first piece of legislation, was passed with unanimous support from all parties.
As Minister of Advanced Education, passage of this bill was an important milestone. Alberta’s private career colleges play a vital role in training workers for in-demand jobs; however, the previous regulatory framework was no longer adequate for today’s realities. Bill 3 modernizes the regulatory system, strengthens protections for students, and ensures programs remain aligned with the needs of our labour market.
I’m proud of the collaboration that made this possible. Students, institutions, employers, and partners across the province provided valuable feedback throughout the process. Their insights helped shape a stronger, more effective piece of legislation.
Thank you for your continued support. I look forward to building on this momentum as we keep expanding opportunities for Albertans and ensuring our post-secondary system remains responsive, innovative, and focused on results.
I look forward to continuing my work as your MLA in 2026.
