Premier Danielle Smith says that by 2050, Alberta could have the second-largest population of any province in the country with close to 10-million people.

Her speech yesterday to delegates at the United Conservative Party A-G-M said that the province is ''in the midst of Alberta's century.''

With oil and gas prices returning billions of dollars to Alberta's coffers in recent years, Smith promised to continue to reduce taxes, balance budgets, pay off debt, deliver more money to savings, increase the housing stock, and reduce high power and auto insurance bills.

She also promised to eventually build a high-speed rail link between Edmonton and Calgary.
