Shortly after being elected as Alberta’s premier in 2019, Jason Kenney launched what was called the Fair Deal Panel. The mandate of the panel was to gauge ways Alberta could assert itself within confederation and shield itself from federal incursions. The panel was comprised of a wide array of Albertans, from government members to academics, and it toured the province for months seeking input from citizens at public meetings.
