Political positions Khan did not support co-operation with the Alberta Party, but did support forging closer ties with the Liberal Party of Canada. His leadership platform included a basic income pilot project, elimination of the small business tax, proportional representation for the Legislature, more free votes for MLAs, bringing private schools into the public system, and establishing universal pharmacare for those under 24.
