Alberta Bills awaiting Royal Assent

Did you know that you can look in the Order Paper on the Legislative Assembly of Alberta website to see the list of bills that have passed but are not assented to? You can also see what is scheduled to be discussed in the session for the day. Just because it is on the schedule does not mean that the legislators will attend to the matter, however it is a great way to see what is coming up.

Here is the list of Alberta bills that have passed third reading but are not assented to yet as of 7:30 a.m. November 4, 2008 MST:
