A meeting on Monday could be the first test of Premier Danielle Smith's new mandate, to stand up to Ottawa, after already speaking out against federal legislation known as the 'Sustainable Jobs Act.'
“To be clear, if this new advisory council provides the federal government with recommendations that are inconsistent with Alberta’s Emissions Reduction and Energy Development Plan or otherwise interferes with our province’s constitutional jurisdiction over the development of our natural resources and regulation of our energy workforce, Alberta will not recognize the legitimacy of those recommendations in any manner.
"People keep asking the premier, what exactly do you think you can do with this legislation, because it's not obvious to anybody that's in this space that and understands the space, what it can actually do?" said Martin Olszynksi, law professor at the University of Calgary. "I'm hoping that we can actually move away from emotion towards economics," said Paul Kellogg, professor in political science, economy and labour at Athabasca University.
