>>> The ucp government has tabled amendments to its controversial bill that would give the province sweeping powers over municipalities. One change repeals cabinet's power to oust to councillors. So the amendment would allow cabinet to remove a councillor will give the power to call for a vote on the basis of unable to or unwilling to do their job. Or if there is illegal or unethical behavior. The second amendment addresses bill 20's proposal to give cabinet the power to repeal or change bylaws. That imposes a series of requirements before cabinet can intervene including when a bylaw exceeds the scope of a municipal government act or is believed to be contrary to provincial policy. >> We want municipalities to focus on doing the job that they are meant to do. When it comes to two parts of the legislation, I'm glad we can provide some clarity that municipalities, some of them, at least, have asked for. >> Dallas: alberta municipalities, the group representing almost 270 communities, says the proposed amendments don't go far enough. Mayor jyoti gondek expressed her opinion on social media. Saying in part... Live look at the calgary international airport for you this morning. Where we can tell you air prices are going up. With travel agents saying flights are costing double or triple what they used to in some cases. Westjet says it is in the process of updating basic fare options which could include less expensive seats if you don't bring a carry-on with you. Westjet wants ottawa to review its fee structure. The alberta government has also been lobbying for that and is also looking at ways to make air travel more viable across the province. >> We are looking at, again, regional flights whether it's lethbridge, medicine hat, fort McMURRAY, grande prairie, how we can increase more air travel within the province of alberta. Again these feasibility studies given to ten regional municipal airports across the province are going to be in by this year.
