EDMONTON (660 NEWS) – The federal election is over, the budget has been announced, and now Premier Jason Kenney will give the State of the Province Address.
Kenney will be speaking at the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce Tuesday afternoon to tout his party’s budget and what’s in store for Alberta.
The UCP is also expected to unveil plans for environmental monitoring and greenhouse gas management which could involve more cuts, but not a carbon tax.

Speaking at an event for Syncrude Canada Monday night, Kenney praised the work of oilsands investors.
“Alberta’s energy wealth has enabled us to provide so much to the rest of the country–$200 billion in the last decade alone, $600 billion since about 1960 and we’re not done yet.”
He also took a shot at the Trudeau government, saying the previous two Liberal governments helped with investments in the oilsands.
“To Anne McLellan, thank you for what you did for Albertans and to our current Prime Minister please remember it was two previous Liberal governments that helped to make all this possible, we hope yours will too in the future.”
The event and address at the Edmonton Chamber is expected to start around 11 a.m. Tuesday.
