EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is threatening another legal challenge against Ottawa's environmental assessment law, a move federal Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault is dismissing as a political stunt.
Smith said the province would mount a legal challenge in four weeks if Ottawa doesn't commit to further changes. A statement sent on behalf of Guilbeault shot back at Smith, calling her move"cynical" given amendments passed through parliament months ago. "We want to ensure as much clarity, certainty and predictability as possible for projects, which Premier Smith threatens with her reckless political games," the statement said.
