I have informed the Partnership that the province will undertake a cross-ministry review of the plan, which will involve all relevant ministries. This will ensure the plan aligns with provincial policy. Having Alberta’s municipalities work together is essential to the success of our province, and I believe this is a better plan because of the involvement of both rural and urban municipalities.

Once the review is complete, I will advise the Partnership of the findings and any further direction with respect to the plan and its content.”
