EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says she is no longer pursuing amnesty for COVID-19 health-rule violators because Canada doesn’t work that way.
“She could pass legislation and do this,” said Hardcastle, an associate in the University of Calgary's faculty of law, who specializes in health law and policy. “It is a bit frustrating, there’s no question, that once the wheels of justice roll on certain cases that there really isn’t anything a politician can do other than watch it play out,” Smith told Newman.Smith has delivered multiple — and at times contradictory — explanations for who she talked to and what was talked about regarding prosecutions.
The Opposition NDP called for an independent investigation into whether Smith interfered in the administration of justice by trying to influence prosecutors. Smith has also twice in previous statements said her involvement in the cases is ongoing and that she continues to ask questions as cases came up.
