Tourism Minister Randy Boissonnault said Alberta Premier Danielle Smith moving forward with the Alberta Sovereignty Act is concerning. .“This act will not create a single job, it will not help a single business, nor will it make life more affordable for a single family,” said Boissonnault in a Wednesday statement. .When Boissonnault meets with Albertans, he said they're not asking for more jurisdictional fights or constitutional squabbles. He said they “want a prosperous Alberta within a strong Canada, and they expect their federal and provincial governments to work together and deliver results that make their lives better.” .The statement said that means focusing on real issues, such as how governments can make life more affordable and build an economy working for all people. .The statement went on to say he has been committed to working with the Alberta government to deliver results since day one. After Smith took office, he sent her a letter to make clear he wanted to work together to turn the province into a better place. .The Canadian government’s joint plan with Alberta about early learning and childcare is saving families money every month. Its spending in rural broadband is connecting businesses and communities to the world and improving life for rural Albertans. .The statement said the Alberta Sovereignty Act is a proposal rejected by indigenous people in Alberta. .All of Alberta's treaty chiefs came together on Friday to oppose the Alberta Sovereignty Act..READ MORE: Alberta's treaty chiefs denounce Smith's Sovereignty Act.The Treaty Six, Seven, and Eight chiefs said the act is offensive, and they reject it.."It is nothing but a dangerous and damaging plan to undermine democracy and abandon the rule of law," said Bearspaw Nation Chief Darcy Dixon. .The statement acknowledged Alberta Finance Minister Travis Toews said the Alberta Sovereignty Act would bring economic chaos to the province. It said it proposes to reject the federalism underpinning Canada’s success. .Boissonnault called it “an attack on Canadian unity.” He said as a proud Canadian, it's a policy he cannot support. .His message to the Alberta government is let them work together. .“Let’s embrace a new era of co-operation focused on creating support for Albertans instead of support for a particular ideology, or creating more jobs for Albertans instead of more political bickering, and on building infrastructure in our communities instead of firewalls around provinces,” he said. .“Let’s deliver for Albertans.”
