The top adviser to incoming Alberta premier Danielle Smith says her proposed sovereignty act would respect Supreme Court decisions — a reversal of her core policy promise on how she would challenge Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government.
“The premier-designate looks forward to working with caucus to draft legislation that protects and asserts Alberta’s constitutional rights in accordance with the rule of law.”She won the UCP leadership race last week showcasing the act as a vanguard of a broader paradigm-busting challenge against what she has termed Trudeau’s “lawless” intrusion in areas of provincial scope, ranging from energy development to COVID-19 health rules.
The sovereignty act dominated the debate throughout the summer-long leadership campaign to replace Jason Kenney as party leader and premier. Martin Olszynski, an administrative law professor at the University of Calgary, who has written articles on the sovereignty act, said if Anderson’s reversal is as advertised, it is the legally proper way to proceed but represents a fundamental rollback of Smith’s original proposal.
