Alberta poultry farmers will be able to apply for AgriStability, a federal/provincial income stabilization program, due to the avian flu outbreak. Traditionally, supply-managed sectors don’t need to participate in the program, but large flock loss has led to severe declines in income.
The Law Society of Alberta will vote today on whether to repeal a rule mandating Indigenous cultural competency training. Fifty lawyers signed a petition calling for repeal of the mandatory online learning program, "The Path". The training was one of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's calls to action, but some lawyers believe the training is politically motivated and goes against their right to control their own professional development. The Law Society is urging members to oppose the petition and vote in favour of the training.
