Dear [MLA name],

I am writing to express my concern about the inclusion of proposed changes affecting diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in Bill 33, the Justice Statutes Amendment Act, 2026 (No. 2).

Changes that could have far-reaching implications for equity, diversity and inclusion within Alberta's public institutions deserve their own legislation, their own debate and meaningful public scrutiny.

I do not believe significant policy changes of this nature should be tucked into a broader omnibus bill, where they risk being overshadowed by other legislative amendments and receive less focused attention from elected representatives and the public.

Albertans deserve transparency. We deserve the opportunity to understand what is being proposed, consider who will be affected and engage in meaningful discussion before significant changes are made to public policy.

Regardless of an MLA's personal or political position on DEI, the legislative process should allow for proper scrutiny, informed debate and accountability.

Albertans deserve better than having significant policy decisions buried in omnibus legislation.

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]
