CALGARY — Federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says he backs Alberta Premier Danielle Smith over her concerns about what she's called Ottawa's anti-oil-and-gas agenda.
Smith has voiced her opposition over pending federal legislation, dubbed"just transition," which is billed as helping Canadian workers adapt to the global move toward renewable energy. In December, her United Conservative Party government passed a sovereignty act that grants Alberta the power to direct its agencies to flout federal laws and initiatives deemed harmful to provincial interests. However, Smith has not committed to using the province's act to rebut the federal “just transition” legislation.
