Alberta premier weighing changes to ‘tidy’ up sovereignty bill amid concerns
“It’s pretty understood that cabinet has the ability to do ministerial orders to make changes in regulations … to do directives, to make changes in policy,” she said.
Olszynski said the premier needs to properly explain to Albertans why giving cabinet and ministers this sort of power is justified. “It’s not clear; no one has explained to us. If this as constitutional as the premier says it is and if it’s about fighting Ottawa, why does she need to shield her actions from the normal scrutiny that they should be subjected to by our courts and by our legislators?”When pressed on expert concerns about the constitutionality of the proposed legislation, Smith told Stephenson she “can point to several who say it absolutely is constitutional.
“We’ve been acting like a subordinate level of government to Ottawa. Just because Ottawa introduces something doesn’t mean they have a right to do that,” Smith said.Alberta has “tried to be a constructive partner,” she added, “and it hasn’t worked.”
