The next Premier will already be one step ahead with a collection of articles written by policy experts sharing their ideas and recommendations to improve public policy and decision making for Alberta. These seven policy experts are affiliated with three of Alberta’s premier research institutes.
With Premier Ed Stelmach’s resignation in January followed by Dr. Swann’s departure as Liberal leader shortly thereafter, Alberta’s citizens will be hearing how a new generation of leaders will manage problems the province faces. There is little doubt that the successful candidates will be facing enormous challenges as Alberta girds itself for another economic boom fueled by a huge investment boom in north-eastern Alberta.
Becoming Alberta’s Next Premier- Policy Ideas for Leadership Candidates is a compilation of policy ideas released by the Institute for Public Economics, the Western Centre for Economic Research at the University of Alberta and the Canada West Foundation covering a broad spectrum of public discourse with the purpose to help steer Alberta’s next Premier in the right direction.
