This $305 million investment by @CNRailway in Alberta will maintain and expand the rail system here and help boost our economic recovery. It’s a great show of confidence in Alberta and means jobs across our province! #ABLeg

ICYMI, on Tuesday I tabled the Alberta Investment Attraction Act. This creates the Invest Alberta Corporation, which will work to bring high-value, job-creating investment to Alberta in target sectors like energy, agriculture, tourism, technology, aviation and financial services.

As part of my mission to Japan I am meeting with many companies that stock Alberta products, including Costco Japan. Alberta's agricultural products are of the highest quality and I am working to ensure the world knows we are open for business.

I’ve had a very productive trip to Vancouver discussing new ways to expand trade and attract investment to our province. I met with investment firms and professionals, as well as officials from key trade markets with potential for expansion such as India and Latin America. #ableg

As the federal government continues to hike the carbon tax on Alberta families, our government has taken steps to make fuel more affordable. By removing the provincial 13 cent tax on fuel, we are saving Albertans $1.3 billion a year. #Ableg

Alberta is ranked #1 by @iedm_montreal in an Internal Trade Leadership Index, largely because of our government's leadership in dropping most of our exceptions in the Canada Free Trade Agreement. We challenge other provinces to follow our lead. #ableg 1/6
