Premier Danielle Smith joins Jason Lavigne live today for a focused, in-depth conversation on the Alberta Next Panel’s Final Recommendations and what they mean for Alberta’s future.
Drawing directly from the Panel’s province-wide public engagement and final report, this interview will walk through the seven key recommendations shaping Alberta’s next steps within Confederation, and the questions Albertans are now asking.
- Building Alberta-Controlled Institutions – Reducing reliance on Ottawa through Alberta-led governance.
- Full Alberta Pension Plan (APP) Proposal – What Albertans must see before any vote.
- Alberta-Run Income Tax Study – Costs, benefits, and why Alberta needs to control taxes.
- Equalization & Fiscal Federalism Reform – Alberta’s role in pushing national change.
- Transition to Alberta Policing – Moving away from the RCMP toward an Alberta Police Service.
- Provincial Control Over Immigration – Referendum plans and expanded provincial authority.
- Protecting Provincial Jurisdiction – Constitutional options, opt-outs, and interprovincial cooperation.
- We’ll also discuss what happens next, what decisions have not been made, and how these recommendations may guide Alberta’s political and constitutional path forward.
