Week One of Session - Complete

Ladies and Gentlemen, the first week of session is almost complete.  What a week it has been.  Working on Public Accounts meetings, helping with Agriculture issues, regular work on constituent's issue, and putting together meetings with Ministers.  Most days I have started at 7am and having finished until we adjourn late in the evening.

I completed a members statement today on the Alberta Livestock and Meat Strategy, I pressed Bills 20 and 21 (Bill 20 - Agriculture Statutes Repeal Act, 2008 and Bill 21 - Heating Oil and Propane Rebbate Act, 2008) through Committee of the Whole, and introduced Bill 32 - Meat Inspection Ammendment Act, 2008. For updates on the Bills, their progress, and the content, please see the section of this site entitled, Government Bills. You can also view the text of the members statement on this site under speeches, or shortly the video of it will be uploaded and you can listen and look as you like.

Tomorrow I will be in Calgary to attend the Harvest Gala hosted by Growing Alberta, where I will introduce the Premier and present an award.
