Alberta's Fair Deal Panel Report - Our direction forward

 A fair deal for Alberta - What is it?



The Fair Deal Panel consulted tens of thousands of Albertans through in-person town hall meetings, an online survey, and stakeholder interviews to get input on how best to define and secure a fair deal for Alberta.

The panel submitted its final report to the government in May 2020. It recommended numerous ways to ensure Alberta has a strong voice in Confederation, including fairer funding allocations from Ottawa, better representation for Alberta in the House of Commons, and exploration of an Alberta Pension Plan and Alberta Police Force (1).

  • recommendations where there is support to conduct further analysis
  • recommendations that do not completely align with government direction and further analysis and/or modifications are required
No recommendations were rejected outright (2).
