Justice Minister Tyler Shandro pitching a blueprint for the Alberta Police Service.

Says each rural detachment would have guaranteed minimum of 10 officers, along with civilian mental health and addictions specialist to support front line support.
Shandro says this would add 275 officers to the 42 smallest communities in Alberta.

There would be 20-30 larger service hubs to help larger communities with each having 48-192 officers.
Shandro says tactical teams and investigative units would be spread across the province to cut down on wait times (compared to keeping them in major hubs)

NEW:

Edmonton City Council votes in favour of moving $15.2M dollars to the Health Streets Operation Centre for 2023/2024.

The money aims to improve safety with a focus on Chinatown.

Of the money, $8.7M will be redirected to EPS.

"Ask them where have they been for the past three months, when are they going to show up and deliver and live up to their word?"

While council approved the Chinatown money, Mayor Sohi and others asked why the province hasn't stepped up to help with more funding/resources?

Worth noting there is a *lot* of nuance regarding this motion and vote that I can't sum up in a tweet, but here's how the vote went down. #yeG #Yegcc

Premier Kenney asked about what he needs to keep being the leader of the UCP at his leadership review.

He says he needs 50% plus one.

#yeg #Yyc #ableg
Kenney asked about Shandro being investigated by Law Society.

Premier claims these are the same people who tried to file complaints against Hinshaw at the Ab College of Physicians- says they have a hyper-politicized agenda.
Why not appoint an interim Justice Minister while Shandro is investigated?

Kenney says NDP Justice Minister Ganley wasn't removed when a complaint was filed against her to the Law Society in 2018.

Says he Shandro has served legal community in many distinguished respects.

Edmonton Mayor Amarjeet Sohi says Premier Kenney's decision to amend Municipal Gov Act to ban cities from implement their own health measures is "deeply disappointing."

Worries this overreach will go beyond the mask bylaw - saying province can overrule anything it doesn't like.
Sohi says changing the MGA means the province could changes smoking rules, traffic issues.

Says they will meet with lawyers, council colleagues and other municipalities to see what their options are.
Sohi says city stepped up when province wouldn't when it comes to mask bylaw.

They're following the rules that are in place.
