Alberta's government will continue its court battle over regulations which lay the groundwork for a ban on single-use plastics.
In November, the Federal Court of Canada ruled that the Trudeau government’s order classifying plastics as toxic is both unreasonable and unconstitutional.
A week later, the federal government signalled it would appeal the ruling.
That move angered Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, who, in a Tuesday press conference, said the federal government should have accepted the ruling and moved on.
“They could have chosen to rewrite their plastics regulation so that it is compliant with the law,” Smith said Tuesday.
“Instead, they do what they always do, is they force us to fight for years in the court, to be able to go through all the processes and ultimately get the decision, which I think we’ll find that is unconstitutional, at which point they'll have to change it.
“But the uncertainty that they create, in the meantime, is having a major impact on business.”
