00:00:00.120 Ramadan is a time to reflect upon the importance of discipline, devotion, humility and sacrifice
00:00:06.460 and to reaffirm the bonds that draw communities together and I appreciate you sharing your time with me
00:00:12.660 during this special period. It is truly wonderful to be gathered this evening to celebrate in fellowship together.
00:00:20.200 I have said for many years and I found it interesting to hear the Imam talking about the foundation of your faith this evening
00:00:26.760 because I have talked about the foundation of conservatism being the individual, the family, the community being built on freedom.
00:00:34.680 After meeting and spending time with many of you it is almost certainly true that these values are celebrated by Alberta Muslims as well.
00:00:41.380 Now let's talk about something else I learned from my Muslim friends.
00:00:44.220 The Islamic faith does not permit you to pay interest charges to a bank but you are. 0.98
00:00:49.300 I've learned a little bit about halal banking. You are permitted to pay banking service fees.
00:00:54.960 I'm here to announce this evening to all of you that we are going to change our banking laws in Alberta
00:00:59.420 to allow a financial institution to not only charge interest as they do now
00:01:03.680 but to introduce new service fee options that are in compliance with Muslim faith.
00:01:10.380 This will reduce red tape, allow for a new banking product to bring more people into the financial market
00:01:15.560 further improving Alberta's economy. It's a win for Alberta's Muslims and it's a win for Alberta's economy.
00:01:21.200 My friends, Alberta is a place of unbridled opportunity but I don't need to tell you this.
00:01:25.420 You live here. You know how special our province is.
00:01:28.920 And being your premier has been the greatest calling of a lifetime.
00:01:32.740 I'm truly blessed to wake up every day and advocate on behalf of the hardest working people anywhere on earth.
00:01:38.160 So tonight my friends, I am asking you to stand with me so that I may continue the good work that we've begun together.
00:01:44.180 I am asking you to stand for our province and stand for all the communities that make this province an incredible place to live.
00:01:50.500 This is the Alberta we love. Thank you to everyone for your genuine friendship.
00:01:55.300 May you continue to have a blessed Ramadan and I'm looking forward to breaking the fast together this evening.
00:02:00.460 Thank you.
