The United Conservative Party (UCP) government in Alberta, led by Danielle Smith, said it is open to amending the "Alberta Sovereignty Within a United Canada Act" to make it clearer following the confusion and concerns it raised.

The bill states that the Alberta legislature can discuss a proposal considered a federal law or program as unconstitutional or harmful to Alberta and approve it. The provincial government can also take action to rectify the situation, but it is not obligated to do so exclusively.

The bill also grants the government the authority to temporarily amend any law, regulation, or ministerial order without returning to the legislature after approving the proposal.

It is noted that this type of provision is rare in Canadian politics and is usually used only during crises, and many criticized it as undemocratic.

When the bill was introduced on Tuesday, the Justice Minister in Smith's government, Tyler Shandro, confirmed that the government can only amend the laws specified in the proposal. However, the bill does not mention this clarification.

In light of this contradiction and the resulting confusion, the Justice Minister said today that he is open to presenting an amendment to clarify the government's powers. In turn, the Premier confirmed this openness during question period in the legislature.

On the other hand, Rachel Notley strongly criticized the bill and called on the Premier to withdraw it.
