Affordability measures, consumer protection legislation coming; Alberta government

Alberta’s government says it has a suite of legislation coming this fall to protect Albertans, their pocketbooks and their personal information.

Government house leader Joseph Schow says the province will soon table new bills to lower the cost of auto insurance and give Albertans new protections when it comes to their utility bills.

Schow says Premier Danielle Smith’s government is also working on new consumer protection rules around ticket resales and used vehicles.

He also says the government will introduce stronger protections around the development of artificial intelligence data centres.
