Alberta says Ottawa will not appeal court ruling against Impact Assessment Act

The Alberta government said on November 12 that the province's Court of Appeal has once more found the federal Impact Assessment Act unconstitutional, and that Ottawa has agreed not to appeal. Premier Danielle Smith and Justice Minister Mickey Amery put out a joint statement calling the outcome a win for Albertans. Amery said he welcomed the federal government's plan to honour the ruling and change the Act. The statement refers to the law as Bill C-69 and describes it as the "no new pipelines" law.
