Edmonton - The Alberta Federation of Labour’s work has been driven by one crucial message:  Albertans are the owners of Alberta’s plentiful non-renewable resources and therefore deserve a fair royalty system that they can trust.

WHAT IS HAPPENING?

The new Government of Alberta – following through on an election promise – has appointed a Royalty Review Panel to ensure Albertans get a fair price for their resources. As part of the review process the panel is encouraging Albertans to visit letstalkroyalties.ca where they can answer questions, submit comments, and engage with the panel. Working people have an enormous stake in these discussions. This is our opportunity to encourage the government to negotiate on our behalf to get the best possible framework for Albertans. We may never have another chance again, as panel chair Dave Mowat is on record saying that “we might never have another royalty review again.”
