    The Calgary Chamber of Commerce says Alberta’s proposed sovereignty law would be harmful to businesses.

    Chamber president and CEO Deborah Yedlin says the proposed legislation creates investment uncertainty and will make it difficult for Alberta businesses to attract capital.

    She says it also negatively affects Alberta’s image, and will make it harder for Alberta businesses to attract young workers from other parts of the country.

    • Ottawa ‘not looking for a fight’ over Alberta sovereignty bill, Trudeau says

    On Tuesday, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith introduced her flagship bill called the Alberta Sovereignty Within a United Canada Act.

    The proposed legislation would allow cabinet to order crown-controlled organizations, police, health authorities, municipalities and school boards not to enforce federal rules deemed harmful to Alberta’s interests.

    Smith says the bill is needed to repair Alberta’s relationship with Ottawa and will be used to push back on issues such as fertilizer restrictions, firearms, energy and health care.

    “This starts the conversation with Ottawa so they don’t continue to adopt aggressive policies that are specifically targeted at our industry and specifically at our development of our natural resources,” Premier Danielle Smith said Tuesday afternoon.

    “This is not how the country is supposed to work. And that’s why we help to educate them and the rest of the country about it.”

    “I hope we never have to use this account,” she also said.
