RMA has received additional responses from the Government of Alberta on resolution 6-20S: Economic State of Crisis. RMA previously reported on this resolution in July after receiving an initial response from Alberta Economic Development, Trade, and Tourism. Since then, RMA has received additional information from Alberta Agriculture and Forestry and Alberta Energy. While both ministries provide additional information, neither address the operative clause of the resolution, and as a result the status remains Intent not Met.
In previous years, the Government of Alberta has provided RMA with all resolution responses in a single package. However, the Government of Alberta has changed its resolution response process to have individual ministries directly provide RMA with responses to resolutions. As a result, RMA will receive responses to different resolutions at different times.
To ensure members are informed of resolution responses in a timely manner, RMA will share responses and initial statuses through a bulletin as they are received, in addition to continuing to publish Advocacy Report Card twice each year.
RMA will continue to update members through Contact as additional spring 2020 resolution responses are received.
