An omnibus “red tape” bill tabled by the Alberta government on March 8 proposes to modify existing trespass legislation to apply to federal government employees entering private land without permission.
Bill 9, the Red Tape Reduction Statutes Amendment Act, 2023, is the province’s seventh red tape reduction bill. If passed, the bill will amend 14 individual pieces of existing legislation across nine government departments, with one of its stated goals to strengthen the rights of Alberta landowners.
