Getting Albertans Back to Work a a I t F • !>;::a• a ::.r-.s· ·. March 2016 WILDROSE OFFICIAL OPPOSITION EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Alberta is currently in the depths of the worst economic downturn our province has seen since the days of the National Energy Program. [...] With the steep decline in the price of oil, the ripple effects of the cooling off of the energy sector are being felt across the province. [...] To restore confidence in Alberta's economy, the first step is to once again make Alberta one of the most attractive places in the world to live, start a business and raise a family. [...] The main focus of the NDP government should be on creating the right economic conditions, and utilizing existing programs, to get Albertans working again. [...] The government should sit down with the construction industry and determine the best way to adjust the tendering process to fairly incentivize the use of apprentices on provincial builds.
