Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says the federal government is failing when it comes to some of the big issues in its jurisdiction, particularly Indigenous health care.

At the annual premiers' conference in Winnipeg, Smith says provincial leaders are frustrated that Ottawa is interfering in issues that are provincial jurisdiction rather than focusing on its own areas.

Grand Chief Leonard Standingontheroad said the confederacy is asking the federal government to intervene and offer more "effective, flexible and long-lasting support." He said the province is partnering directly with First Nations to address the issue in the spirit of reconciliation.
