Assembly of First Nations chiefs call for sovereignty act to be withdrawn abpoli ableg cdnpoli
Speaking ahead of the Assembly of First Nations Special Chief Assembly in Ottawa, several Alberta community leaders said the province held zero consultations with them ahead of tabling Bill 1: Alberta Sovereignty within a United Canada act. Chief Darcy Dixon of Bearspaw Nation west of Calgary said the bill shows a complete disregard for First Nations people, their treaty rights and their role as stewards of the land.
The government released a statement Tuesday evening outlining those amendments, which include changes stating amendments to legislation will be made through usual legislative processes. The government has also brought forward changes to the definition of “harm” in the act, limiting it to an act on or interference with an area of provincial jurisdiction or interference with the charter rights of Albertans.
