Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and her government formally launched a constitutional court challenge on Thursday, filing a reference case against the federal government’s Clean Electricity Regulations with the Alberta Court of Appeal.

“The federal government refused to work collaboratively or listen to Canadians while developing these regulations. The results are ineffective, unachievable and irresponsible, and place Albertans’ livelihoods – and more importantly, lives – at significant risk,” said Smith. “Our government will not accept unconstitutional net-zero regulations that leave Albertans vulnerable to blackouts in the middle of summer and winter when they need electricity the most.”
