Pipelines and post-secondary: Alberta legislature resumes with fall sitting

EDMONTON – Politicians returned to work on Monday at the legislature.

Government house leader Brian Mason says 12 bills are to be introduced during the six-week fall sitting.

Mason says one will be about improving accessibility to post-secondary education and another on further modernizing securities regulations.

He says there also will be legislation giving medical professions more power to sanction members for abusive acts, sexual or otherwise, toward patients.
