Alberta Minister of the Economy, Jobs and Innovation, Doug Schweitzer is back on the Trending 55 Hot Seat.

Here are some of the topics covered today:

  • He says he will use a consultative approach in coming up with ideas (like in the justice ministry)
  • the importance of doing the right things now to keep Alberta as an economic driver
  • he mentioned that 300,000 jobs were lost due to the pandemic, and the oil crash and adds the work doesn’t stop until all Albertans are back to work
  • the importance of technology in the province’s economic rebound
  • as a parent, Schweitzer gives us his thoughts of his children returning to school; and
  • the usual baseball talk, along with an NFL Superbowl prediction since the new season begins tonight.

The full discussion is below.
