Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith expressed objections Monday to comments made by federal Justice Minister David Lametti that suggest the feds could consider rescinding natural resource agreements with the provinces.

Moe said on April 10 that it was “outrageous” that Lametti told the Assembly of First Nation’s Special Chiefs in Ottawa that he would consider rescinding the 1930s Natural Resources Transfer Agreements.
