LEDUC, Alta. – Leader Stephen Mandel says an Alberta Party government would create 6,000 new jobs and create a new innovation fund for the province’s agriculture and agri-food industries.
Mandel says his goal upon taking office after the April 16 election would be to boost the value of the industries by $1 billion to $4.5 billion.
He says the new fund would provide $100 million annually, starting this fiscal year, for industry-led projects and increased upgrading of plant-based proteins and biofuels.
