Revenue Agency: Calgary Chamber and Premier Jason

revenue agency: They include establishing a provincial revenue agency, withdrawing from the Canada Pension Plan and replacing the RCMP with a provincial police force, according to CTV. Any of those would have to be endorsed in a referendum. Premier Jason Kenney's United Conservative government has formed a panel to examine ways for Alberta to get what he calls a fair deal in Canada. The way I work and the way we've operated the city is really to be as efficient as possible and to deliver services as efficiently as possible, Mayor Naheed Nenshi said Wednesday following a speech to the Calgary Chamber of Commerce ahead of his city council's upcoming budget talks. He noted the creation of the panel comes after a tough provincial budget that ended inflation indexing on assured income payments to people with severe disabilities, increased the interest rate on student loans, scrapped a funding agreement with Edmonton and Calgary, and reduced support for some seniors. And when I look at the things that panel is looking at, I see increased costs. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
