Province Announces Economic Recovery Plan Jackie Armstrong-Homeniuk MLA Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville Dear friends and neighbours, As our province continues to see success in containing COVID-19 and reopening the economy, it is time to look to the future. On June 29, our government announced an ambitious Economic Recovery Plan. Focused on creating jobs now, building up our province, and diversifying the economy for the future. This plan introduces new mea s u res a nd investments that will help get Albertans back to work. Alberta’s recovery plan will also see the accelerated diversification of our economy. As part of this plan, the corporate tax rate in Alberta has been reduced to 8 percent, making our province the most attractive place to do business in Canada. Other measures will support growth in high-opportunity sectors like petrochemical manufacturing, minerals, technology, finance, and more. The new Innovation Employment Grant will be aimed at creating jobs at smaller companies by providing a refundable tax credit to companies that invest in research and development. This recovery plan will support Alberta’s oil and gas industry while boosting opportuni-
ties in other sectors. For more information, I encourage you to visit https:// www.alberta.ca/recovery-plan.aspx. This week, applications also opened for grants to support small businesses safely reopen in Alberta. From June 29 to August 31, small- and medium-sized businesses, co-ops, and non-profits with less than 500 employees can apply for up to $5,000 of funding to help with their relaunch through the Small and Medium Enterprise Relaunch Grant program. This funding will help businesses who have lost a significant portion of their revenues reopen safely, and help get Albertans back to work. Please visit alberta.ca/sme-relaunch-grant.aspx for more details. As we continue to work on reopening and recovering from this pandemic, it is critical that we continue to take steps that protect ourselves and others from spreading COVID-19. For the latest information and resources on COVID-19, I encourage you to visit alberta.ca/covid19.
