Danielle Smith to invoke Sovereignty Act on Ottawa power rules Monday

The Danielle Smith government intends to put its Sovereignty Act into action on Monday to shield Alberta power companies from the proposed federal clean electricity regulations, as CBC News first reported Friday.

The province will use the controversial law to introduce a resolution in the legislature that declares Ottawa’s plan to slash grid emissions an unconstitutional federal measure, and spell out ways the regulations would not be enforced in Alberta, according to sources familiar with the matter.
