Delivering Results: Alberta’s 2025 Fall Session Focuses on Health, Education and Public Safety
As Alberta’s legislature prepares to reconvene, the government is turning its attention to delivering tangible results for residents, with a focus on health care, education and public safety.
Members of the legislative assembly return on Oct. 23 for the second session of Alberta’s 31st legislature. The first session passed 55 government bills, setting a strong foundation for continued action. The 2025 fall session will open with a speech from the throne, outlining the government’s next steps to fulfill its mandate.
A key priority is creating the conditions for economic growth, job creation and stronger communities. Joseph Schow, Government House Leader and Minister of Jobs, Economy, Trade and Immigration, said the government is focused on the issues that matter most to Albertans.
“Albertans gave us a job to do, and we are getting it done. We are defending our interests with low taxes and regulatory burden, supporting public safety, strengthening health care and making life better and safer for all. This session, our government is taking steps to keep Alberta the best place to live, work, do business and raise a family,” Schow said.
Legislation this fall will include the full implementation of new health agencies, such as Acute Care Alberta and Primary Care Alberta. The government will also introduce amendments to establish the Alberta Sheriffs Police Service (ASPS), designed to increase law enforcement capacity and address Alberta’s evolving public safety needs.
Other proposed measures aim to boost labour mobility by streamlining approvals for internationally trained professionals in regulated fields. The session will also introduce legislation to protect regulated professionals from undue discipline for matters outside their work.
Since 2019, the government has cut red tape, saving taxpayers and businesses more than $3 billion. This session promises further reductions to bureaucracy, saving Albertans time and money.
At least 15 pieces of legislation are expected to be tabled, including:
Regulated Professions Neutrality Act
Health Statutes Amendment Act
Public Safety and Emergency Services Statutes Amendment Act
Utilities Statutes Amendment Act
Red Tape Reduction Statutes Amendment Act
Water Amendment Act
Justice Statutes Amendment Act
Financial Statutes Amendment Act
Names of acts are subject to change.
This fall, the government is emphasizing action and accountability, aiming to turn plans into results Albertans can see and feel. Through debate and decisive legislation, the session seeks to strengthen essential services, protect freedoms and keep Alberta’s economy moving forward. With a clear direction and a proven record, the government is set to build on its success and deliver for Albertans once again.
