On February 4, 2022, Neudorf wrote an open letter calling for an end to the restriction exception program implemented by the provincial government in response to COVID-19. Neudorf described how he had received over 3,000 phone calls from concerned Albertans throughout the province about the restrictions.[5] Less than a week later the provincial government removed the restriction exemption program, being part of their step 1 approach of reopening.[6]

Besides being deputy premier, he had also been Minister of Infrastructure and Parliamentary Secretary for Multiculturalism. Neudorf also was Vice-Chair of the Building Communities Cabinet Policy Committee and was active on the Treasury Board Committee as well as the Emergency Management Cabinet Committee.[7] Previously Neudorf was on a variety of other committees including the Special Standing Committee on Members’ Services, Standing Committee on Alberta’s Economic Future, Standing Committee on Privileges and Elections, Standing Orders and Printing, Select Special Public Health Act Review Committee, Special Standing Committee on Members’ Services, Standing Committee on Families and Communities, Standing Committee on Private Bills and Private Members’ Public Bills as well as Standing Committee on Public Accounts.[8]

Part of Neudorf’s focus was infrastructure, providing $6.508 billion to municipal infrastructure, $3.542 billion to capital maintenance and renewal, and $3.1 billion to health care services. Minister Neudorf said “Over the next three years, Alberta’s government is investing $23 billion into public infrastructure through the 2023 Capital Plan. By building and revitalizing hospitals, schools, courthouses and other public facilities, we are investing in the critical infrastructure projects that Albertans need and help keep people working”.[9]
