The dust is starting to settle after the battle in the legislature over Bill 6.

Premier Rachel Notley says her cabinet will begin formulating the next steps in the coming days.

Livingston-MacLeod MLA Pat Stier says he still has concerns.

"What they've agreed to do now is relax on the small family farms apparently and they're not going to be having those people subject to some of these punitive rules, that's what I call them, punitive rules," he says. "But later on if they feel they want to change that, they can do that and we won't have any way to stop it and that's what really worries me now."

Stier says once they'd made the announcement the government felt it had to plow ahead to save face.

"They had made the announcement,. they were going to proceed, for them to have backed off completely, because they have a different philosophy, in their minds that would have been some sort of a losing face scenario," he says.

Premier Notley says her cabinet will meet next week to begin deciding how the consultation process will work to adapt safety, labour relations, and employment standard rules to agriculture.
