CANADA – Alberta faces off against Ottawa this week in Supreme Court over ‘no more pipelines’ law
A federal environmental law that has been condemned as a “wrecking ball” goes on trial Tuesday as the Supreme Court of Canada considers whether Ottawa is stepping on provincial jurisdiction by giving itself more oversight of major resource projects
The federal government is asking the Supreme Court to overrule an Alberta Court of Appeal opinion that declared the 2019 Impact Assessment Act (IAA) to be unconstitutional.
The Alberta government counters that the act is “a profound threat” to provincial jurisdiction over natural resources.
