Alberta has announced plans to establish a new framework of province-wide rules to monitor misconduct and elevate the standards of behaviour for municipal councils.

Municipal Affairs Minister Dan Williams told reporters this week he will propose changes to the Municipal Government Act in the coming days, as the province looks to set clear, province-wide standards for councillor conduct.
