I am proud to share with all of you the work our government continues to do to make life better for Albertans. We have many initiatives on the go, and I am pleased to share some of my recent work.

In November, I was honoured to recognize Family Violence Prevention month in the Legislature, and I will continue to advocate for solutions and supports for survivors.

I am very pleased our government passed the first reading of Bill 21An Act to Protect Patients. Patients should feel safe when receiving medical treatment. Bill 21 could see doctors, along with thousands of other health-care providers, face automatic licence suspensions for sexually abusing patients. I am proud to be a co-sponsor of this important Bill.

It is hard to believe that 5 years have passed since the 2013 Alberta floods. Our government has passed and enacted Bill 8 – The Emergency Management Amendment Act. This Bill is based on reviews from the response to the 2013 southern Alberta floods, and the wildfires in Slave Lake and Fort McMurray. I am proud of Bill 8, as it improves the way our province will handle future disasters.

I will be back in Calgary later this month to spend time with my family during the holidays. I will also be working from the Calgary-Bow office and invite you to stop by my open house in early 2019! Details to come—please see my social media pages for details.

I wish the residents of Calgary-Bow a cheerful and festive holiday season, and a refreshing and prosperous New Year. As you head off on your holiday activities, I wish you all safe travels, good food, and great company.

Deborah Drever

MLA for Calgary-Bow
