12 STATUTES. ONE BILL. BILL 34 THAT'S TOO MUCH TO UNPACK.

Want to try to help stop the UCP from passing omnibus bills?

I made an email template for Bill 34 in hopes we can make a difference


Bill 34 proposes amendments to 12 different Alberta statutes covering everything from consumer protection and vehicle warranties to property rights, environmental legislation, resource development and gaming and liquor regulations.


These are significant policy areas that affect Albertans in very different ways.


Legislation shouldn't be a legislative grab bag.


Albertans deserve transparency, focused debate and meaningful public scrutiny. Each significant policy change deserves to stand on its own merits.


It's time to tell our elected representatives that how legislation gets passed matters just as much as what's in it.


Simply copy and paste into an email, read it over, ensure you agree. Fill in the [brackets] with the correct information, remove them, add or edit as you see fit and send it to your MLA, Dale Nally and Danielle Smith. Alberta's MLAs ' contact information is on the homepage. You can download it by going to the homepage and clicking the image "Looking for your MLA?" https://www.lavenderlibrarypress.ca/ 



Dear [MLA name],


I am writing to express my concern about the Alberta government's approach to introducing significant legislative changes through omnibus bills.


Bill 34, the Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction Statutes Amendment Act, 2026, is only one of 11 omnibus bills you have presented as a government. It proposes amendments to 12 different provincial statutes, covering an incredibly broad range of areas, including consumer protection, vehicle warranties, the right to repair, credit reporting, ticket resale, property rights, landowner compensation, environmental legislation, resource development, railway regulation and gaming and liquor legislation.


These are distinct areas of public policy, each with its own implications for Albertans, consumers, businesses, landowners and communities.


While individual proposals within the bill may have merit, combining so many different legislative changes into one omnibus bill makes it more difficult for Albertans to understand the full scope of what is being proposed, scrutinize individual amendments and participate in meaningful public discussion.


Significant legislative changes deserve focused attention, transparent debate and appropriate public scrutiny. Albertans should not have to navigate a dozen different pieces of legislation bundled together just to understand what their government is proposing to change.


I expect the Alberta government to introduce significant legislative changes through appropriately focused, standalone legislation, allowing each policy area to receive the attention and scrutiny it deserves.


The legislative process should not simply be about getting bills passed. It should be about responsible governance, transparency and accountability to the people of Alberta.

Albertans deserve better than omnibus legislation being used as a substitute for meaningful, focused legislative debate.


Sincerely,

[Your name]

[Your constituency, if you know it. If you don't, it's ok, but you should learn it. The more you know, the better]
