Alberta’s chief electoral officer has referred a potential referendum question on the province separating from Canada to a court to ensure it does not violate Canada’s Constitution.

The proposed Alberta separation question seeks a yes or no answer and asks: “Do you agree that the Province of Alberta shall become a sovereign country and cease to be a province in Canada?”
