A Principle is defined as a fundamental truth, the basis for action and conduct.
Integrity is demonstrated by the adherence to principle.
As we continue to build a positive future for Alberta, we believe reviewing our common principles is an important first step. We look to you our members, to hear your voices, as we review the Principles of the Progressive Conservative Association of Alberta. The strength of our province is derived from our ability to educate our citizens and to encourage a healthy lifestyle so that they may fulfill their potential, and by our ability to provide care for Albertans when they are ill or infirm. Our social programs should provide the support and resources necessary for an environment in which Albertans can work together, be self-reliant and take responsibility for their own lives, but also ensuring dignified and meaningful lives for those who need assistance. We must ensure that economic growth and resource development take place in an environmentally sensitive manner and that decisions taken reflect government's role as steward of the environment for the current and future generations.
