McClelland Task Force on the Alberta Agenda Strengthening Alberta's Role in Confederation On November 15, 2003, Premier Ralph Klein announced the formation of a government MLA Committee which would be holding public hearings on "Strengthening Alberta's Role in Confederation". This Committee will be "talking to Albertans across the province about the current state of relations between Alberta and the federal government, and how Alberta's role in Canada can be improved or strengthened." "The committee will look at both constitutional and non-constitutional issues, and will explore a broad range of issues including current and historical successes in the federal-provincial relationship; challenges and difficulties in the relationship; and how possible changes might be achieved. "It will also review matters such as establishing an Alberta Pension Plan, an Alberta police service and a separate Alberta tax collection system."
