Premier Rachel Notley has struck a committee to give her ongoing advice on ways to improve and diversify Alberta’s oil-based economy.
Notley says the 10-member panel is to meet four times a year to discuss ways to better position the province to compete in the global marketplace.
The committee is headed by Joseph Doucet, dean of the School of Business at the University of Alberta.
Other members are leaders from business, labour and post-secondary institutions.
They will not be paid, but will be reimbursed for travel expenses.
Notley’s government has already struck a panel to review oil royalties.
