Similar to any other nation or community, Rwandans possess their unique characteristics, face their own challenges, and encounter various limitations.





Consequently, we manage our societal affairs and address our issues with a clear understanding of our identity, aspirations, historical context, and future goals.






It is crucial to thoroughly comprehend and reflect on these aspects. Moreover, it is essential to engage in open communication among ourselves and conduct the necessary introspection to identify solutions to the numerous challenges we face or have faced. We do not engage in denial; we acknowledge the significant progress we have achieved, while also recognizing that we have not triumphed in every endeavor. Success in all areas is not an obligation, yet we strive to make advancements in the aspects that hold the greatest significance for us. We are not indulged; our resources are limited, and our past experiences have been fraught with tragedy. Thus, one must either gather their strength and move forward or risk stagnation. We function within these constraints.

This evening, I attended a performance of 'Igenfina' at Aduvie International School in Abuja, alongside parents, friends, and supporters. The play presented a compelling narrative of a traditional African society that marginalized the girl child, denying her essential social development and access to quality education.



It was inspiring to witness the character of Igenfina, who, despite numerous challenges, mobilized the community to challenge and ultimately overcome the forces of discrimination and oppression in her realm. The staging was captivating, filled with drama, suspense, and intrigue, as the talented young cast effectively advocated for girl-child education and gender equality.

The Saskatchewan NDP expresses solidarity with Ukraine. It was a pleasure to meet Yulia Kovaliv at the Saskatchewan Legislature earlier this week.

Our province is home to tens of thousands of individuals with Ukrainian heritage, which is why we have proposed legislation to officially designate September as Ukrainian Heritage Month. We now seek the cooperation of the Sask. Party to facilitate the passage of this bill. Carl Beck of Saskatchewan also advocates for the continued welcoming and support of refugees affected by Putin's unlawful invasion. We appreciate Ambassador Kovaliv for addressing our Caucus on these important issues.

The Calgary Chamber of Commerce has warned that a potential referendum on Alberta's separation from Canada would be detrimental to both the province's and the country's economies, citing uncertainty as a significant deterrent for businesses considering investment.

Deborah Yedlin, the chamber's president and CEO, emphasized that companies are not drawn to environments where the political landscape could change drastically, referencing the negative economic impacts that surrounded the 1980 referendum in Quebec. The chamber represents numerous businesses in Canada's energy corporate capital, including several major oil and gas companies. Atco Ltd. CEO Nancy Southern has also commented on the issue, stating that Asian partners have put a hydrogen project investment decision on hold due to the ongoing separatist discussions. Yedlin believes that more business leaders will voice their concerns as annual meetings continue, emphasizing that the current political rhetoric is not constructive for Alberta.

The Alberta government has made it easier to hold constitutional referendums, with a reduced signature requirement of 177,000 from the previous 600,000. However, Yedlin argues that the fundamental arguments for separation are flawed and do not align with business interests. Additionally, Edmonton Mayor Amarjeet Sohi and Federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre have also acknowledged the economic concerns and frustrations with Ottawa but have not endorsed separatism.

Premier Danielle Smith has unveiled a new cabinet that is set to prioritize health care, affordability, and economic growth in Alberta. This strategic move integrates both seasoned politicians and fresh perspectives to address the province's critical issues effectively. By allocating specific ministers to manage Alberta's revamped health agencies, the government signifies its commitment to an advanced and efficient health care system tailored to the needs of its citizens.

The revamped cabinet structure reflects a deliberate approach to health care reform, which is a significant concern for Albertans. This strategic distribution of responsibilities is designed to ensure that each health agency is steered by a dedicated leader, thereby enhancing accountability and fostering a more responsive and patient-centered health care system.

Key appointments and portfolio allocations within the cabinet are expected to be announced shortly, detailing who will be at the forefront of these vital sectors. This new team is prepared to build on existing initiatives and implement innovative policies aimed at improving access to health care services, controlling costs, and enhancing the overall quality of life for the people of Alberta.

In addition to health care, the cabinet will also prioritize affordability and economic growth, acknowledging the interdependence of these areas on the well-being of the province. Addressing the cost of living and bolstering economic opportunities are essential components of a comprehensive strategy to ensure long-term prosperity and sustainability.

This cabinet shuffle comes at a pivotal moment, as the province navigates post-pandemic recovery, an evolving energy landscape, and the ongoing need to diversify the economy. The new lineup of ministers is expected to bring energy, expertise, and collaboration to the table to tackle these complex challenges.

Premier Smith's decision to reshape the cabinet underscores her commitment to the mandate given by the people of Alberta. The new team is poised to engage with stakeholders, listen to the concerns of residents, and work tirelessly to deliver results that resonate with the province's top priorities.

The upcoming months will reveal the specifics of the new cabinet's plans and actions. Their success will be measured by their ability to improve health care delivery, enhance affordability, and drive economic growth across Alberta.
