Alberta businesses are seeking to understand how changes in federal government policy, particularly those outlined in the Liberal platform and the recent Speech from the Throne on May 27, 2025, may impact their business post-election.
The government has signalled several key areas for near-term attention, including shifting trade relationships with the U.S. and other nations, the push for reduced internal trade barriers, and measures aimed at easing the cost of living and stimulating the housing market.
For Alberta's energy sector, it will be crucial to navigate developing environmental regulations and also identify opportunities to expand market access for oil and gas, while expanding petrochemicals, clean energy, and Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS).
The agricultural industry is expected to see continued support for supply management, alongside investments in modernization and market diversification. The real estate sector can anticipate new financial measures designed to drive ambitious goals for increasing housing supply. Across diversified industries, federal initiatives aim to boost innovation and entrepreneurship.
Accordingly, Alberta businesses are proactively assessing these shifts, identifying both potential challenges and emerging opportunities, and leveraging strategic partnerships.
