UCP Leader Danielle Smith was in Calgary on May 4 to announce a new plan for the economy and job creation in Alberta, while her rival NDP Leader Rachel Notley was in Edmonton touting her affordability plan.

At a news conference at Calgary business Braeside Auto on May 4, Smith laid out the party’s plans for economic growth, investment, and job creation. She said the UCP would fast-track approval times for internationally trained doctors, nurses, and skilled workers, and streamline the certification of skilled trades and health-care workers.
