Happy May, everyone!
The sunshine is finally here, I hope you’re all getting a chance to enjoy the warmer weather and spend some time outdoors!
We have been in session at the Alberta Legislature since late February. We have just concluded budget discussions, where I asked important questions and advocated for the needs of everyone in our communities. We were dismayed to learn about allegations of bloated contracts and questionable procurement in our healthcare system. As stewards of public monies – all MLAs must defend the ethical use of your tax dollars and call for the government to serve the community’s needs. One of the biggest concerns I hear about is healthcare, including access to a family doctor (which 800,000 Albertans don’t have) and timely surgeries (wait times have gone up). I will continue to advocate for this.
The first week of April was constituency week and I relish the time I spend with you in the community. I’m thankful for the constituent meetings in my office or a location near you if transportation is an issue. I’ve had some thoughtful conversations with many of you about education, healthcare, disability benefits, and even tariffs. In addition to meeting with you, I’m honoured to be included in community celebrations, volunteer appreciation, and events like Tuxedo Park’s story time. Please let us know if you’d like me to join your event!
Do you have any concerns about provincial government matters? Is there anything you would like me to keep in mind when I’m in the Legislature? You can write to us and let us know if you’d like me to share your thoughts in the Legislature. And as always – our office is here to help you if you have questions about government services or need to know about local resources.
