Dear Neighbours,
I would like to take this opportunity to share with you some exciting updates regarding the recent efforts of your government.
Work is being done to improve Alberta’s driver’s licensing system. Starting in spring 2023, Alberta will no longer require the advanced road test for Class 5 and Class 6 driver’s licenses. Drivers who successfully complete a 24-month probationary period will automatically qualify for their full Class 5 or Class 6 driver’s license and save $150 by not having to take a second road test. These changes are focused on reducing costs and red tape for hundreds of thousands of Alberta drivers while ensuring Alberta roads remain safe.
Starting last month, Alberta’s natural gas rebate program will provide price protection from spikes in natural gas costs for millions of Albertans this winter. Energy prices have increased in recent months due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, global supply shortages, and other factors. Alberta’s natural gas rebate program provides cost certainty and protection to more than 1.6 million families and businesses across the province.
This program, in addition to the $50 monthly electricity rebate and fuel tax pause will help combat the rising cost of living by providing protection from high energy prices.
In every corner of the province, optimism is growing for the future. Jobs and investment are pouring back into Alberta, as we lead the nation in economic growth.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact my office at 403-246-4794 or [email protected].
