Public record watch: prepared committee correspondence
Consumer Access Watch has prepared a record-tracking note on what Alberta should publish before and after any Bill 208 change.
Public position
The watch is less interested in speeches than in traceable records. If the province changes the rule, the public should be able to see what changed afterward.
What the correspondence asks Alberta to test
After indicators
Publish the same measures after the rule changes so the public can see whether the legal channel improved or lost visibility.
Correction indicators
Report how repeat offenders, online sellers, and unlicensed supply are addressed.
Publication note
The watch will treat every claim as a record question: what source shows it, and what would prove it wrong?
