Proposed sovereignty act could scare off investment: Calgary chamber

Alberta Lt.-Gov. Salma Lakhani delivers Throne Speech focused on affordability, health-care reform, jobs, and fighting Ottawa

Yedlin argued the act does not allow for constructive conversations with the federal government and that all levels of government need to collaborate to make Alberta an attractive place to invest and to work, stating the province has to compete with jurisdictions from all corners of the globe.Article content

Yedlin said Quebec lost investment when that province grappled with the idea of separation. She said that while Smith’s bill makes it clear it is not about separating, just the idea of uncertainty could cause investors to look elsewhere.Lisa Baiton, president and CEO of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, said they are taking time to review the bill with their members. She said they are concerned about any policy that has the potential to create uncertainty for investors.

Finance Minister Travis Toews was critical of the sovereignty act while he ran against Smith in the leadership contest. At the time, he argued the bill would bringOn Wednesday, he acknowledged he had legitimate concerns during the summer but said he has since had full opportunity to participate in the development of the bill along with his caucus colleagues, and that it addresses his previous concerns.

No it won't, being more certain of where federal government can start and stop is more helpful than less.

Yes, well her supporters don’t understand that, nor do they care… and Smith is not concerned about it because all she cares about is getting elected, not about doing what best for Alberta.

The only thing that scares off investors is NDP and Liberal governments. Our province will now protect investors who spend billions on approvals and tell the Eako Freakos in Ottawa to pound salt (or each other) .

She is reckless

Vote in the Alberta NDP you'll see SCARE OFF part 2.

Notley as Premier will scare off investment, not might

The Chamber scared off membership years ago. It is not a business useful organization at all.

The chamber has become a joke. You want to see business scared off. Let the Trudeau government continue it's policies going forward.

Not likely

The chamber is way off base here and out of touch with their membership. Unbelievable.

Because the socialist major hasn't scared enough business away? Cancelling the new Flames arena was a significant moniker for our mayor and her policies on business growth.

Yep, big business really attracted to Nutbar instability

Premier Smith's proposed sovereignty act could drive investment away from Alberta: Calgary chamberThe Alberta Sovereignty within a United Canada Act could drive investment out of the province, the Calgary Chamber of Commerce warns. It could also attract it but that story can’t be told, right? Based on its newfound progressive ways the Chamber will be the one driving away investment. The goal is to drive Ottawa away.

UNLIKE Quebec one of 4 Charter members in creating Canada ,Alberta ,Man .and Sask were created by Ottawa and may return to Territorial Status lol😁 Actually it does the exact opposite , now investors can feel that their investment in Alberta can have some protection rights over the federal government implementation of obscene new laws I think it does the opposite lol it's ok when Quebec does it but albertans are assailed for proposing the same thing
