Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said amendments will be made to her province’s new sovereignty bill as it goes through the legislature process, amid criticism the bill wasn’t clear about how laws will be rewritten if required.

“The nature of the problem is that Alberta gets treated differently than the rest of the country. And Alberta gets treated differently, most specifically than Quebec,” Smith said.
