Summary
This is a historical bill from Alberta's very first legislative session in 1906. It amended an 1898 ordinance from the North-West Territories that set out the rules for how the Legislative Assembly operated. When Alberta became a province in 1905, it inherited laws from the former North-West Territories, and this bill was part of the new province's effort to update or adapt those inherited rules for its own legislature. The bill was sponsored by Premier Alexander Rutherford, Alberta's first Premier, suggesting it was a government priority to establish proper legislative procedures for the new province. The full text of the bill is no longer available online, so the specific changes it made to the original ordinance cannot be detailed. This bill is primarily of historical significance, representing one of the earliest acts of the newly formed Province of Alberta as it worked to build its own governing institutions separate from the old North-West Territories framework.
