The province said Saturday that its “Fair Deal Panel” has submitted its final report, which contains an assessment of viewpoints on Alberta’s role in the country, but it will not be released “until the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic is over.” The government initially said the panel had to submit a report by March 31, but the deadline was extended because of the pandemic.
Christine Myatt, press secretary for the premier’s office, said the panel submitted the report on May 5. Premier Jason Kenney created the panel in November 2019 to hear from frustrated Albertans on Western alienation and propose recommendations on how to advance the province’s economic interests.
