b'(Session is from 7-9pm.)\\n\\nOn June 1, 2009, the Alberta Government introduced legislation to give the government more control over the construction of power lines they consider may be needed for future growth under rules that will have tax payers cover the full cost of these projects.\\n\\nBill-50, if passed, gives cabinet control over power lines to be built or upgraded in Alberta. The Alberta Utilities Commission will decide the location of such power lines and, in due course, conduct meetings with the affected landowners.\\n\\nIn late October, Bill-50 may pass third reading and become law, which the speaker will argue, compliments two earlier Alberta laws, Bills 46 and 19, both also designed to curb public consultation regarding power lines. He believes Bill-50 could transfer $15-20 Billion of wealth from Albertans to corporate owners, providing funds for export capacity power lines.\\n\\nSpeaker: Joe Anglin\\n\\nJoe Anglin is the President and CEO of Anglin Stewart Investment Group Inc.
