The Alberta government is “fighting back” against the federal government’s proposed “just transition” legislation, says Premier Danielle Smith, adding that she is open to Ottawa simply helping oil and gas sector workers finding other jobs in related fields.

“We are not going to be shutting down our oil and natural gas industry,” Smith said on her Saturday morning radio show on Jan. 7, reported the Calgary Herald.
