Stabilizing supply chains, protecting jobs, and maintaining confidence in key industries is not a quick fix it will take sustained effort from government and business alike. While I understand the monumental challenge this government is facing, there's a clear gap. In the entire response, there is one mention of nonprofits.

Following the conclusion of the spring sitting of the Legislature, Premier Danielle Smith made changes to her cabinet last week. As a strong sector of more than 30,000 organizations, nonprofits in Alberta touch many different ministries. The cabinet changes that most affect our sector are as follows:

• The Ministry of Immigration is moving to Jobs, Economy and Trade, and getting a new Minister in Joseph Schow

• Childcare has been added to the Education portfolio under Minister Demetrios Nicolaides

• Mental Health and Addiction will now be represented by Minister Rick Wilson

• Indigenous Relations has a new Minister in Rajan Sawhney

• Tourism and Sport has a new Minister in Andrew Boitchenko

• The current Ministry of Housing, Community and Social Services under Minister Jason Nixon will see a name change to Assisted Living and Social Services
