Albertans deserve a strong assisted living sector that can meet their non-acute needs, so hospitals can remain dedicated to serving those who need them most. With the new Assisted Living Framework, Alberta’s government is relieving pressure on hospitals, ensuring Albertans get the care they need, when and where they need it. This framework is backed by the largest continuing care expansion in Alberta’s history, with our government investing billions over the next decade to build new continuing care spaces across the province delivering a more reliable, responsive, and sustainable care system that works better for patients, families, and front-line workers. Alberta’s government has reduced the number of hospital beds occupied by non-acute patients by 20% in the past six months. Alberta is home to approximately 850,000 seniors.
Alberta’s government will negotiate its own long-term equivalency agreement with the federal government on new methane regulations. Under the MOU, both governments agreed to complete a methane equivalency agreement by April 1, 2026. Our industry continues to deliver results by developing and testing new technologies and retrofitting existing sites. Solutions created in Alberta are deployed here and worldwide. Alberta will keep focusing on practical, flexible methane reduction solutions that help our industry stay competitive. Alberta is a global leader in monitoring, managing, and reducing methane emissions. The province has cut emissions from the upstream oil and gas sector by 51% since 2014 while saving industry about $600 million through a province-led approach. Over the same time, oil production rose by more than 54%. Alberta has invested about $129 million since 2019 into technology testing centres, retrofitting equipment, and developing new methane technologies.
Thank you to my constituents for your support, and happy Family Day to our wonderful community! Take time to celebrate with the people who matter the most.
