Who can make amendments to the Act?

The ability to make amendments to the Act lies primarily with the Provincial legislature, specifically when such changes are made with recommendations from the Minister of Service Alberta. This process reflects the legislative structure within provincial governance where amendments to laws, especially those concerning real estate and related matters, require input from the relevant provincial authorities.

In this context, the Provincial legislature has the authority to propose changes to the Act that governs real estate practices, ensuring that local needs and conditions are considered. The Minister of Service Alberta plays a critical advisory role in this process, providing specialized knowledge and guidance that aligns the amendments with current regulations and practices in the province.

While other entities may influence the legislative process or have roles related to real estate, such as the Governor General representing the federal aspect of governance, the Real Estate Association advocating for industry interests, or the Federal Government dealing with overarching regulations, they do not possess the direct legislative power to amend provincial acts. These functions are specifically reserved for the provincial government structure, emphasizing the distinction between different levels of governance in Canada.
