Episode Details

Alberta lawmakers return to the legislature with new rules, passed along party lines, that aim to extend debate time across bills. These changes include new programming motions, capped opposition questions, and extended response deadlines. However, opposition New Democrats argue these rules curb their ability to challenge the government and weaken democratic checks. The changes also limit urgent debate requests and written question demands. Most changes take effect immediately, with others starting March sixteenth. Thursday sessions will now start earlier and run shorter to help members head home sooner.
