(AlbertaIndex, April 22, Tuesday) --- Karen Kinsley has been re-appointed President and CEO of the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) for a three-year term, extending her leadership at the agency which began on June 16 2003.
Before her promotion in 2003, Ms Kinsley, a chartered accountant, served in a number of senior positions within the CMHC and for a number of private sector real estate developers.

Monte Solberg, Minister of Human Resources and Social Development, and Minister responsible for the CHMC, who announced her re-appointment, also named André Plourde to the agency’s board as a representative of Quebec.

“I am pleased to announce the reappointment of Ms Kinsley,” said Minister Solberg. “Her prior experience as President of CMHC, and her financial expertise, will continue to benefit and strengthen Canada's housing system.”

He added: “Mr Plourde brings to the position extensive experience in urban development and real estate.”

Mr Plourde, who replaced Alexander Werzberger, has been the President of Groupe immobilier de Montréal Inc, one of Montréal's largest commercial real estate companies, since 2001. He is active within the commercial real estate industry as a member of the Urban Development Institute of Québec and the Association of Real Estate Agents and Brokers.

As Canada’s national housing agency, CMHC draws on more than 60 years of experience to help Canadians access a variety of quality, environmentally sustainable, and affordable homes.

Premier Stelmach & his Cabinet just gave themselves a hefty pay rise. Why are some people so upset?

	The people are wrong! $200,000 a year to lead a multibillion economy means the Premier is underpaid.
	It's the arrogant, underhanded way they did it. There was no discussion and no transparency.
	Stelmach doesn't deserve it. He should give it back and apologise.

Alberta has $20 b in heritage fund vs Norway's $400 billion. Are you concerned?

	Yes, we need better politicians than the current crop to manage our earnings from depleting oil and gas assets.
	No, other provinces will want a share if Alberta has $400 b in savings.
	Don't know. A detailed study is needed first on why Alberta isn't saving enough.
