Motz backs supervised site with calls for more detox funding
Medicine Hat MP Motz supports supervised consumption but says the program is not a cure. He urges the provincial government to boost funding for detox, prevention, rehab and education in Medicine Hat beyond the projected 2 million dollars. He cites experiences in Lethbridge and Vancouver and notes concerns from constituents about the 502 S Railway SE site while backing measures to ensure safe operation with HIV Community Link and Health Canada exemption processes.

Alberta loan guarantee backs Calgary upgrader project
The Alberta government provides a 440 million loan guarantee for Value Creation to build the Heartland Upgrader east of Edmonton. The 2 billion project would process 77,000 barrels per day of diluted bitumen into synthetic crude and ultra low sulfur diesel, creating over 2,000 construction jobs and 200 permanent positions in 2022. Premier Notley defended the plan amid opposition calls for a fuller economic assessment.
