Alberta to boost immigration control, restrict MAID, and hold referendum, amid deficit budget.
Alberta plans to introduce legislation in its 2026 spring sitting to increase provincial control over immigration by licensing international recruiters and overseeing employers hiring foreign workers, alongside measures to restrict medical assistance in dying (MAID) for specific groups like mature minors and those with mental health conditions as their sole issue.
The bills are linked to a proposed October referendum on immigration and social program access.
Other priorities include creating an independent police service, advancing infrastructure, and reducing regulatory barriers.
The province will release a budget acknowledging a deficit while emphasizing investments in jobs, skills training, and population growth.
