Description
The Premier's Council for Economic Strategy was established in July 2009 help give an external, big-picture perspective on what Alberta needs to do to secure the province's long-term prosperity. The Council's report, released in May of 2011, outlines broad direction for the province's future, organized around five themes: realizing the full potential of our energy resources; broadening the province’s economic base; preparing to prosper in a global economy; providing a strong platform to sustain economic growth; and investing in shaping the future. The report also provides thoughts on how to ensure the province has a strong platform - fiscally, environmentally and with respect to infrastructure - to sustain economic growth. Under each of the five themes, the council outlines some thought-provoking 'flagship' initiatives.
