• Establish the Child and Youth Advocate as an independent officer of the Legislature.
• Create the Alberta Interagency Council on Homelessness to lead the implementation of A Plan for Alberta: Ending Homelessness in 10 Years.
• Ensure information sharing practices within government and with service agencies support the best decisions possible in regard to the health, education and safety of children and families.
