Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is repeating her calls for key federal legislative changes favouring the energy sector ahead of Parliament’s return on Sept. 15.
In her latest call, she is highlighting three pieces of legislation she wants removed: The cap on emissions in the oil and gas sector (which she says acts as a limit on production), the Impact Assessment Act (which she termed the “No New Pipelines Law”), and the tanker ban on B.C.’s coast.
