Story continues below advertisementThe bill, introduced this week, has faced widespread criticism and condemnation for granting Smith and her cabinet authority to redress any federal policy, law or program it deems harmful to Alberta.
Critics say such power exercised in secret without legislature oversight is a threat to the checks and balances that underpin a healthy democracy.The bill has also raised concerns over the provision that grants cabinet the power to order provincially legislated or funded entities to reject federal laws.
Those entities include municipalities, police forces, health regions, post-secondary institutions and school boards.
