Call your Member of the Legislative Assembly for the Coal Day of Action 

The Coal Policy Committee is required to submit its recommendations for a new coal policy to the Minister of Energy. Last week, due to overwhelming amounts of input, they were granted an extension until December 31st . 

This gives you the opportunity to ask the government for the report to be made public for increased transparency, and accountability. 

The public has the right to know:

• What the recommendations from the coal policy committee are 
• How the information provided by stakeholders was interpreted and included in the recommendations 
• How the Government of Alberta will use these recommendations in the development of a new Coal Policy. 

Additionally, full public and Indigenous consultations are needed for a new coal policy. 

The report should be a result of what the committee heard from stakeholders across the province and will include recommendations for a new coal policy. It is important that a new coal policy reflects what Albertans clearly want – clean water, protected landscapes, and a healthy future.
