Alberta Premier Danielle Smith will meet with UCP members at her party’s annual meeting from Nov. 28 to 30, following the introduction of several key policies and pieces of legislation, many of them brought in over the past few weeks.

Key measures introduced by her government this year include using the notwithstanding clause to shield three laws on parental consent and gender transition for minors; limiting the power of regulatory bodies over members’ actions; exempting the province from international agreements adopted by Ottawa; and enabling involuntary treatment in cases of severe substance addiction.
