Subhead:Critics argue the federal government’s ‘no more pipelines’ law infringes on provincial autonomy.#
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation has been granted leave to intervene in the Alberta Court of Appeal case examining the constitutionality of the federal government’s amended Impact Assessment Act — often dubbed the “no more pipelines” law.
“Ottawa shouldn’t be able to trample over provincial powers and leave taxpayers footing the bill for delays, duplication and wasted money,” said Devin Drover, CTF General Counsel. “This is an important win for taxpayers because it means their voices will be heard in a case that could reshape the balance of power in Canada.”
