If elected, Notley says her first piece of legislation would be the “Save Albertans Money Act'.
NDP Leader Rachel Notley says if her party wins Monday’s election, it would reconvene the legislature this summer to pass bills to lower costs for Albertans and close the door on the province quitting the Canada Pension Plan.
“We would be going back into the house this summer as soon as we possibly could to get the necessary legislation passed in order to provide relief to Alberta families, to provide certainty to investors and to provide security to Alberta seniors,” Notley told a news conference Thursday in Calgary. She said the second bill would repeal Smith’s sovereignty act, which gives Alberta the power to direct its agencies to flout federal laws and initiatives deemed inimical to provincial interests.Notley said the third bill would prevent any future government from leaving the Canada Pension Plan.
Former premier Jason Kenney promised more than two years ago that a report into the pros and cons was imminent, but it has never been released.
