OUR FUTURE

Alberta's proud history and western traditions have given us a solid foundation that tells us who we are. Now it's time to define who we want to be.

The immense oil and gas reserves under our feet represent a unique opportunity to build whatever future we choose.

Since 1993, Alberta has received more than $62 billion in energy revenues. After paying off a $23 billion debt, we have little to show for the balance.

When I look around my community, I don't see it invested in our schools, our hospitals or our infrastructure. I don't see it being used to diversify our economy or to provide a solid foundation for the day our oil and gas reserves run out.

That's why I believe we must do better.

I want to see an Alberta steeped in opportunity for individuals and for business - a leader both within Canada, and world-wide.

I want to see leaner government that manages money as carefully as ordinary Albertans do. I want to see vibrant communities that are great places to live, and that attract interest and investment from around the world. And I want to see a tidy sum put aside for the future.

Most of all, I want to work with Albertans to create an environment where families and businesses can thrive.

Together, let's move Alberta forward by focusing on restoring accountable, responsible leadership in government, and by involving all Albertans in building a truly remarkable future.
