Minister of Infrastructure
Manmeet Bhullar was first elected to the Alberta Legislature in
March 2008 and is the MLA for Calgary-Greenway, in the city's vibrant
northeast. As Minister of Infrastructure he is responsible for building new
schools, hospitals and seniors' facilities to meet the needs of Alberta's
growing population.
Mr. Bhullar previously served as Minister of Human Services,
where he implemented transparency and quality assurance measures for Alberta's
child intervention system. He launched new parent link centres with the goal of
supporting young families, invested in mental health supports for children in
care and made it a priority to keep at-risk children in the care of their loved
ones and community when safe. During this time Mr. Bhullar also chaired the
meeting of Canada's provincial and territorial ministers of social services.
Prior to this portfolio he served as Minister of Service
Alberta, where he laid the groundwork for changes to the Condominium
Property Act and
implemented new penalties for dishonest contractors. He was instrumental in
getting the CRTC to develop a national wireless code to protect consumers from
the shock of high roaming charges and rigid cell phone contracts.
Mr. Bhullar is also responsible for negotiating a memorandum of
understanding that was signed between the government of Alberta and the state
of Punjab in India. The agreement facilitates trade and partnerships between
the two jurisdictions on post-secondary education and agriculture.
In addition, he is a member of the Treasury Board, the Planning
and Priorities Cabinet Committee, and the Operations Committee.
Born in Calgary, Mr. Bhullar earned his bachelor of arts from
Athabasca University, with studies at Mount Royal University, and obtained his
bachelor of laws from the University of Windsor.
