Alberta Premier Jason Kenney is expected to formally respond to the proposals put forth in the Trudeau government's throne speech on Wednesday.

“Alberta is disappointed that instead of listening to Canada’s provinces, the federal government doubled down on policies that will kill jobs, make Canada poorer and weaken national unity,” Premier Kenney said in a statement.

In a speech read by Gov. Gen. Julie Payette, the Liberal government pledged to continue to offer a federal wage subsidy it brought in when the COVID-19 pandemic hit Canada.

It also promised to put everyone under the employment insurance system in an attempt to help hard-hit workers, even if they previously didn’t qualify for the decades-old program. And it made promises related to childcare, gender equality, fighting climate change and racism.
