The Alberta government is amending the Sovereignty Act to take away cabinet's unilateral powers to change legislation as proposed in the original version of the bill.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith during a news conference in Edmonton.The Alberta government is amending the Sovereignty Act to take away cabinet's unilateral powers to change legislation as proposed in the original version of the bill.

"My caucus identified some issues that they wanted to address," Smith told the legislature. "They wanted to seek some clarity, and that's the kind of leader I am. I want to make sure that we get this bill right, and I'm grateful that my caucus is going to propose amendments to do that." Smith proposed the legislation last summer while campaigning to succeed Jason Kenney as leader of the governing United Conservative Party.

Once passed, the resolution would go to cabinet, which could take several actions. In its original wording, the bill gave cabinet the power to change provincial legislation.

Repeat after me: Anything mainstream news says is BAD for Alberta, is GOOD for Alberta. Anything mainstream news says is GOOD for Alberta, is BAD for Alberta.

So if I understand correctly, ABDanielleSmith and the UCP want to enact an amended Bill to allow the Legislature to pass a Motion that forces the Ministers to do their jobs and lets the government bring in amendments to existing legislation. What is the point?! ableg

No way? How undemocratic of them.

Governance by trial and error. But mostly error.

Pathetic liar slimy sleazy weasel snakeoil saleswoman spinner DS

I can't believe that dictatorial crap was in the Sovereignty Act in the first place. She is unfit, she is unfit, she is unfit. And every single person that voted YES is equally unfit.

Total nonsense! You guys make stuff up as you go along! Danielle will never compromise to the NDP/Liberal coalition! Trudeau mouthpiece lies again!
