Premier Smith Challenges Court's Treaty Rights Interpretation
Description
Alberta Premier Smith challenges courts interpretation of Section thirty-five, arguing its being misused to override property rights and provincial control over resources. She plans to appeal a recent ruling blocking a citizen-led referendum and seeks support from other provincial leaders. The issue is also a concern in British Columbia, where some candidates propose constitutional amendments to limit Indigenous title and veto powers in resource development. The Supreme Court of Canada will hear an appeal concerning a B.C. court ruling on mining regulations and Indigenous rights. Smith aims to discuss the topic at an upcoming premiers meeting. Albertans will vote on four constitutional questions in a referendum this October, including judicial appointments and Senate abolition.
