Amend before expanding
If Bill 208 proceeds, the alliance asks that the committee consider amendments that require measurement, review, and consultation before broader designated-product rules are added.
Practical amendment note · 28 May 2026
Prepared correspondence: amendments, enforcement, and the legal channel
AB Choice has prepared practical committee correspondence focused on improving Bill 208 through enforceable amendments rather than repeating pro or anti slogans.
Public position
The alliance's note is written for readers who want a workable bill file. It treats consumers and small retailers as the people who will live with the rule after the debate ends.
What the correspondence asks Alberta to test
Keep the legal channel legible
The correspondence explains that lawful retailers create the inspection surface Alberta can actually monitor.
Build the enforcement lane first
AGLC-style oversight is presented as the practical middle path because it can connect training, licensing, inspections, and consequences.
Publication note
The alliance is publishing the frame so readers can see the logic before any private or public submission is finalized.
