RMA has received responses from the Government of Alberta on 14 fall 2019 resolutions, as well as additional information on four fall 2019 resolutions for which the original Government of Alberta responses were received in February 2020. 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 the Advocacy Report Card twice each year.
The following are the fall 2019 resolutions received to this point (click on each resolution number to view full response in the RMA Resolution Database):
