OTTAWA — Federal officials will not obstruct Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s plan to hold a referendum this fall on constitutional and immigration-related issues. The referendum will feature nine questions, including immigration reforms and constitutional changes, prompted by Alberta’s rapid post-COVID population growth of 600,000 new residents. Smith’s proposals aim for significant shifts in the province’s immigration system, while the federal government emphasizes cooperative management of immigration.
