CALGARY – Alberta Liberal Leader David Khan says he would improve child welfare, education and justice for Indigenous people if his party were to win the April 16 election.
Khan says a Liberal government would create regional Indigenous child protection offices, run by Indigenous groups, to help keep children in their home communities.
He says there would be Indigenous-led revisions to the school curriculum and the creation of Indigenous language immersion programs.
The party would also require provincial courts to use Indigenous-based sentencing principles and amend legislation making juries more representative.
