The Alberta Legislature will re-open on Tuesday, March 31.

Premier Jason Kenney says it's to allow debate on legislation related to the battle against COVID-19.

Government House Leader Jason Nixon says they're reconvening the legislature to make further changes to legislation to ensure the protection of the most vulnerable and create the conditions for Alberta’s economy to rebound after the worst of the pandemic is over.

Nixon says the House Leader for the opposition says the NDP caucus is healthy, as is the government side.

They spent the weekend taking measures to keep everyone safe while sitting in the legislature.
