The wins for Alberta keep coming, and this is a big one.
Alberta’s Court of Appeal has once again found the federal Impact Assessment Act unconstitutional. Most Albertans know it by another name, the “no new pipelines” law. And Ottawa has agreed not to appeal.
This fight has been years in the making. In 2023, the Supreme Court ruled the original law was largely unconstitutional. Ottawa’s 2024 amendments failed to fix the core flaws that kept threatening jobs and Alberta’s economy.
So your United Conservative government took the amended Act back to the Court of Appeal. The court has now vindicated Alberta’s concerns.
Ottawa says it will respect the decision and amend the Act. That will take a major overhaul, one that ends federal interference in infrastructure projects built within a province.
This is a win for Albertans, for our resource industries and for every Canadian who wants responsible resource development.
It’s your win too. To every Albertan who stood with us and spoke up against a law that put jobs at risk, thank you. You helped make this happen.
We’ll keep standing up for Alberta and for provincial rights, every step of the way.
A bad law defeated, Ottawa backing down, provincial rights defended. That’s your United Conservative government getting the job done.
