An Alberta panel aimed at finding ways the province can strengthen its autonomy has offered up seven recommendations, including options for referendum topics.

The Alberta Next panel, made up of 15 people and chaired by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, released its report Friday afternoon after holding town hall meetings in 10 communities across the province over the summer and fall.

The recommendations relate to self-government, a provincial pension plan, personal income tax, equalization and federal transfers, a provincial police service, immigration and constitutional reform.
