.2 FEDERAL
The United Conservative Party believes that the Government of Alberta should...
a. Oppose intrusions by the federal government into the property, legal, constitutional and democratic rights of Albertans. To that end, Alberta should hold a referendum to obtain approval from Alberta residents, for the Alberta government to demand and negotiate changes to the wording of the Canadian Constitution under Section 121 to grant Alberta a constitutional right to freely export its resources, products and services across other provinces and outside of Canada’s borders, without restrictions;
b. Advocate for senate reform. The UCP supports having a provincial review on senate reform to balance the current imbalance in the senate. The review should consider all options and the UCP should support a future constitutional amendment on senate reform, with thesenatorial selection process to be the dominion of each province.
c. Commit to working with the federal government to develop one- window regulatory approval processes to minimize regulatory delays and burdens imposed on projects, particularly regarding critical infrastructure.
d. Advocate to the federal government to collect carbon taxes on imported goods from foreign countries that do not have equivalent carbon tax/pricing schemes.
e. Continue to distance itself from the federal government in as many facets as possible as a productive member of Confederation. Furthermore, any right given to another province should be a right given to Alberta.
f. Provide intergovernmental advocacy to ensure that lab grown meat will not be sold in Alberta without proper identification and clear labelling.
g. Provide intergovernmental advocacy to ensure that mRNA products are not being injected into our livestock or food sources in Alberta.
