Alberta proposes oil-site trespass bill to keep federal workers from grabbing data

Alberta’s government is proposing a law it says would ban federal employees from going on any oil-related sites – from wellheads to corporate head offices – but critics say the province doesn’t have the right to go against federal law.Premier Danielle Smith said Wednesday the goal is to keep federal staffers away from any place where oil and gas production and emissions data might be located.“Alberta will do whatever it takes to shield our economy from the Liberals’ growth-killing lunacy.”
