ADVOCACY

Advocating for Prosperity in Alberta

At Alberta Enterprise Group, advocacy is at the heart of what we do. Our mission is simple but powerful, to create long-term prosperity for Alberta businesses, today and for generations to come.

Through ongoing consultation with members and the guidance of policy experts, AEG amplifies the voice of Alberta’s business community. We focus on the issues that have the greatest impact on economic growth, public policy, and quality of life. Whether we are influencing legislation, shaping public opinion, or opening new doors for business, AEG advocates with clarity, purpose, and results.

Three Pillars of Our Advocacy Work

Public Policy Influence 

We bring business leaders and policy experts together to address the most pressing issues facing Alberta’s economy.

Our members represent a wide range of experience, from leading global companies to guiding community-focused organizations, giving AEG a broad and balanced view of what matters to business.

We work alongside members and experts to address critical challenges, push back on regulations that hinder business success, and create lasting value for our members and the broader business community.

Events and Government Engagement

We connect Alberta’s business leaders with key decision makers through high-level events and roundtable discussions. 

These forums allow our members to speak directly with government officials, share insights, and shape the conversations that influence Alberta’s future. 

Our public campaigns, strategic partnerships, and media outreach amplify these efforts across the province and beyond.

Trade and Market Access

AEG advocates for open markets and improved access for Alberta goods and services.

We support interprovincial and international trade and work to remove barriers that limit economic opportunity.

By sharing Alberta’s story across Canada and around the world, we help build understanding, strengthen ties, and expand opportunities for our members.

The Alberta Enterprise Group (AEG) strongly opposes Bill C-372, the Fossil Fuel Advertising Act

AEG strongly opposes Bill C-372, the Fossil Fuel Advertising Act, tabled in Parliament by NDP Member of Parliament from Timmins-James Bay, Mr. Charlie Angus. The Bill proposes to prohibit the advertisement of Canadian oil, gas, and coal. Advertising in the Bill is loosely and broadly defined to include any demonstration of the positive aspects of using oil and gas even if it is verifiable fact, such as the positive economic contribution to Canada’s economy and benefits towards Indigenous reconciliation. Penalties for violation of the Bill include fines upwards of $1.5 million or jail time.
