Our government has just introduced the 'Safeguards for Last Resort Termination of Life Act' to make it clear MAID cannot be provided where mental illness is the sole underlying condition. Our goal is to strengthen protections for vulnerable Albertans and ensure MAID is not used when other care and treatment options are available.

It was great meeting with my friend and U.S. Secretary of the Interior, Doug Burgum @DougBurgum yesterday. In addition to a west coast pipeline, we want to make sure that more Alberta natural gas and millions more barrels of Alberta oil can go to our friends and allies in the United States, who continue to be our best and largest customer. I look forward to continuing to work with our U.S. partners to reach these goals so that we can achieve North American and global energy security.

We need to build faster, and Alberta is taking action to make that happen. Our government is bringing forward legislation to streamline major project approvals to 120 days or less, giving investors more certainty and getting more jobs on the ground sooner. I am pleased to see Minister Brian Jean @BrianJeanAB leading this work and industry responding so positively to what it will mean for Alberta’s economy, creating good paying jobs for the future.

Canada needs to reform how we appoint judges to the superior trial courts and courts of appeal of the provinces, as well as to the Supreme Court of Canada. I am joining with Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe, Ontario Premier Doug Ford, and Quebec Premier François Legault, in writing to Prime Minister Mark Carney requesting a new, collaborative approach, wherein our governments can meaningfully engage in filling judicial positions in our respective jurisdictions. Full letter below ⬇️ @PremierScottMoe @fordnation @francoislegault @MarkJCarney

Alberta’s message at CERAWeek is clear: We want to build new pipelines east, west, north, and south - without delay, without hesitation - to supply Asian, European, and American markets with safe, reliable, and responsibly produced energy products. We kicked things off meeting with the Canadian Ambassador to the U.S., Mark Wiseman @MarkDWiseman. Then we opened Alberta House, our home base for the week. After that, I headed to the Canada House Grand Opening to speak alongside federal Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, Tim Hodgson @timhodgsonmt, and Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, Tony Wakeham @TonyWakehamNL.

I am deeply saddened by the tragic collision involving an Air Canada flight at LaGuardia Airport. My thoughts are with the families of both pilots who lost their lives, and especially with the passengers and crew still recovering from this terrible accident.

Taber is in the running for Kraft Hockeyville, and I’m asking Albertans to rally behind this great community. A win would mean $250,000 in rink upgrades for local families, players and fans. Voting opens on April 3rd here: hockeyville.kraftheinz.com/home

Thank you to Vivian, Brett Wilson, and little Buffalo 🐶 for hosting such a thoughtful gathering this afternoon. Did you know women now make up 38 per cent of Alberta’s Legislature? That’s why we need to encourage more women to step into leadership, get involved in public life, and consider a run for office. If we want stronger communities and better policy, we need more women at the table helping shape Alberta’s future.

Thank you Edmonton for the incredible turnout this week and for keeping our conservative movement strong!

I have said it for years: Canada will not regulate itself into prosperity. It’s time to build. In the midst of grave global instability, Canada needs a real economic boost and this new report shows exactly where it can come from. New oil pipelines and the production to fill them could generate about $31 billion a year for Canada. Read Chris Varcoe’s full analysis here: calgaryherald.com/opinion/column…

Minister @nateglubish did an excellent deep dive on what that means for Alberta, and why this fall’s referendum matters. Read the full breakdown here: nateglubish.substack.com/p/why-alberta-…

Joe Rogan is 100% correct: Alberta is a truly amazing place with some incredibly hardworking people! And to my friend @PierrePoilievre's point— Mr. Rogan, consider this your official invitation to come back to Alberta this summer and visit the greatest outdoor show on earth, the Calgary Stampede.

Children and Albertans struggling with mental illness deserve protection, care, and hope, not MAID. Yesterday our government introduced Bill 18 to prohibit MAID for minors and for vulnerable Albertans whose sole underlying condition is mental illness, while strengthening oversight around every request to ensure MAID remains a true last resort.
