The fact that the Sovereignty Act accidentally gives Cabinet unlimited power to amend any law highlights why Cabinet should not have such powers.
Any errors in orders issued via the sovereignty act will only be noticed after they have the force of law. #abpoli #ableg #cdnlaw

A big error: 4(1)(a)(i) gives Cabinet the power to amend or suspend any law (act or reg) without the Assembly if it deems it in the public interest to prevent harm to Albertans
Cabinet can repeal the fixed elections law or amend the sovereignty act, if it is necessary #abpoli

Recall that it is a Minister who introduces an authorizing motion before the Assembly. The motion can simply say "that Cabinet protect Albertans against all harm that may occur from any federal initiative"

The Sovereignty Act contains obvious drafting errors like accidently giving Cabinet nearly unlimited power.
Giving Cabinet these powers means no public scrutiny in the Legislature to correct drafting errors before they are law.

Specifically any directive by Cabinet to direct a Minister to change a law is only public AFTER the fact (within 30 days).
However, this is separate from the Minister actually changing the law.
Public scrutiny of any drafting errors will only occur AFTER the law is in force.

Basically, if the Soveriegnty Act accidentally contains errors which give Cabinet nearly unlimited power, doesn't this highlight the importance of the Legislature to slow things down, to avoid flaws occuring via Cabinet decree?

(2/4) The Charter Statement explains how #C28 would protect the public, specifically women and children, from extremely intoxicated violence and hold individuals accountable for violence committed while in a state of negligent extreme intoxication, while upholding the Charter.
(3/4) Bill #C28 responds to the SCC decisions that s. 33.1 of the Criminal Code breached the rights of accused persons.
The New Brunswick Minister of Health tabled significant changes to the Public Health Act today.
These may appear minor but they provide legislative adjustments so New Brunswick no longer has to resort to using a State of Emergency in a subsequent wave of COVID. #nbpoli #cdnlaw

At first glance, these amendments address several concerns I identified with the current Public Health Act: unclear roles, unclear class orders, allowing closure of premises related to notifiable diseases, increasing fines.
I discussed changes on my blog:

1/9🧵 It's grievous #CDNmedia won't do its job so it appears I'm betraying my gender for contributing the facts
But problem with this narrative is they're omitting the part where Chu met the girl at a bar & that's what everything hinges on due to Supreme Court precedent #Thread

2/9🧵 Reason it matters that Chu met her at a drinking establishment is because Supreme Court ruled it's reasonable to ascertain someone is an adult, due to the pub's legal onus to check IDs to permit entry. Chu can't be prosecuted for luring a minor since she misrepresented age

Coming up, key highlights from todays’ federal budget as the government plans more than $101B in net new spending over the next three fiscal years (2021-2024), representing 4.2% of Canada’s GDP. #cdnpoli #cdnecon #budget2021
Budget 2021 and fiscal guardrails for new spending: “A comprehensive range of indicators show that the Canadian economy is still far from seeing a strong labour market with broadly shared benefits.” #cdnpoli #cdnecon #budget2021
Budget 2021: last year’s deficit now projected at $354.2B. For 2021-22: a projected $154.7B shortfall, but a warning that third-wave slowdowns could add $15B to deficit. #cdnpoli #cdnecon #budget2021
