Stay Free Alberta legal counsel Jeff Rath says his group was “nauseated” by Smith’s address to the province.

He accused the government of avoiding a binary ‘yes’ or ‘no’ question on Alberta’s standing with Canada and questioned the future of Smith’s premiership after her address.

“It’s a cynical abuse of people in the province of Alberta, who she promised a referendum on a clear question,” he told CTV News Edmonton.

But the release went out while the committee was still meeting and hadn’t actually finalized anything.
