It is expected that 1000 spaces and 230 professional jobs for ELCC trained staff will be available by 2017. The project also seeks to research ways to provide for children with specialized needs.

=Opiate Fentanyl epidemic= (Complete)
Since 2014 Alberta's urban and rural communities endured an fatal opiate epidemic as Fentanyl emerged on the street narcotic market. Notley's government responded with harm reduction counter measures such as the distribution of Naloxone injection kits and Naloxone spray for Edmontonian and Calgarian police and EMS.[2][3]
Albertan Liberal Opposition leader David Swann petitioned the Notley government to issue a state of emergency.[4], Neighboring Province BC issued a state of emergency as did the Blood Tribe and Nakota nations as frequent and close succession fatal overdoses on these First Nations communities as well throughout Alberta. However, as of November 2016 the Notley government views the measure inappropriate as Albertan medical facilities were already established and gained experience through epidemics such as SARS.[5] However the health minstry is showing great interest in the prospect of establishing safe sites in Edmonton and is reviewing the data for the harm reduction approach.Associate health minister NDP MLA Brandy Payne granted $230K to the 'Access to Medically Supervised Injection Services Edmonton' to apply for permission to establish a 'safe site' in Edmonton. Increased funding was allocated to treatment and for the communities to explore the prospect of operating 'safe sites'.[6]. However, Fentanyl is usually ground and inhaled or ingested and not injected.
To further compound and aggravate the situation more potent Opiates such as W-18 and Carfentanil are emerging on the menu of illicit narcotics in Alberta. These compounds may be resistant to harm reduction counter measures such as the antidote Naloxone.[7][8]
(Is this completed needs double check April 25, 2017)

In early 2018, an inter-provincial trade dispute between the British Colombian NDP and Albertan NDP hampered the export of resources. Alberta's AGLC ceased to export wine produced in BC. Notley's government chose this as retaliation for Hogan's government decision to limit export of Bitumen from Alberta as protest to ongoing discussion of the proposed Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion. completed (Feb 2018).

In 2018, the NDP proposed legislature Bill 9 ('The protecting choice for women accessing healthcare act') to enforce 50 m buffer zones around abortion clinics in Alberta to ban harassment by pro-life activists against users and personnel of these facilities.

-On October 15, 2017 according to Milano a friend suggested that she posted a message on her Twitter account encouraging survivors of sexual harassment and assault to post #metoo as a status update. This was to gauge the widespread problem of sexual misconduct. The movement rapidly went viral throughout the realm of social media beyond Twitter.She was inspired to bring awareness to the commonality of sex crimes among women in the wake of Harvey Weinstein's expulsion from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for sex crimes against women in the movie industry.[84] Milano aims to channel this rising awareness into a productive dialog that addresses the vastness of occurrences of sexual harassment/assault against women.
