Alberta Premier Danielle Smith tabled her government’s signature sovereignty act in the legislature Monday afternoon .

Smith cited the potential for job losses and economic shortfalls as prompting the government to invoke the act for a second time.

Smith has indicated the province will also launch a constitutional challenge of the emissions cap once it is passed into law.

The sovereignty act motion can be passed by a majority vote of MLAs following debate.
