Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and United Conservative Party members will meet at the party’s annual meeting from Nov. 28 to 30, following the introduction of several key policies and pieces of legislation, many of them in the past few weeks.
Among the measures her government took this year, besides the signing of an agreement with Ottawa on Nov. 27 for a potential Alberta-B.C. pipeline, were using the notwithstanding clause to shield three laws on parental consent and gender transition for minors; limiting the power of regulatory bodies over members’ actions; exempting the province from international agreements adopted by Ottawa; and enabling involuntary treatment in cases of severe substance addiction.
