The Alberta government has wrapped up its fall sitting, with Premier Jason Kenney's United Conservatives debating long into the night to pass an election financing bill.

Kenney said the economic rebound is hampered by a shortage of pipelines and by new energy project approval policies by the federal Liberals that he said will make it harder to get big projects off the ground.

The Alberta government hopes to reconvene the legislature two weeks earlier than planned for the fall session.
