Alberta’s government has introduced legislation to authorize components of Budget 2026.

Alberta’s government is taking a disciplined approach to protect jobs, support communities and strengthen the foundations of long-term economic growth. Proposed amendments to the Fiscal Measures Statutes Amendment Act, 2026, will help strengthen Alberta’s fiscal position and make practical, targeted updates to ensure Alberta’s laws are responsive to the needs of Albertans.

If passed, the legislation would update several laws to improve oversight, reduce red tape and deliver government programs more effectively.

“As Alberta’s economy grows, our legislation needs to keep pace. These changes modernize key frameworks, support investment and help financially reinforce the province so we can continue delivering quality services for Albertans.”

Nate Horner, President of Treasury Board and Minister of Finance
