EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says her sovereignty bill that grants her cabinet unfettered power to rewrite laws behind closed doors without legislature approval was never intended to do that.

Smith agreed that while cabinet has the power to make regulations and other rules that grow out of laws, the laws themselves have a higher bar. University of Alberta constitutional law professor Eric Adams, responding to her remarks, said: “If is proposing that they change the legislation to remove the capacity of to amend other acts as a result of a triggering motion, that’s a positive development for the legislation.

Under the bill, cabinet would decide when Ottawa is interfering in Alberta's jurisdiction through a law, policy or program or through a looming federal initiative it believes may cause harm.
