Trudeau says feds “not looking for a fight” over Alberta sovereignty bill

Global News published this video item, entitled “Trudeau says feds “not looking for a fight” over Alberta sovereignty bill” – below is their description.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the federal government is “not looking for a fight” with Alberta over the provincial government’s proposed sovereignty bill, but added that he will not “take anything off the table.”

His comment comes the morning after Alberta Premier Danielle Smith tabled legislation that, if approved, will give the provincial cabinet wide-ranging powers that have already faced fierce opposition criticism — and that are already raising constitutional questions.

Speaking on his way into a caucus meeting in Ottawa on Wednesday, Trudeau said the proposed “exceptional powers” in the bill are “causing a lot of eyebrows to raise in Alberta.”

“We’re going to see how this plays out,” Trudeau said, after being asked whether he intended to have the federal government step in and contest the bill.”
