Alberta leaders demand federal government reinstate drug trafficking penalties and enhance border security.

Alberta's Premier Danielle Smith and Justice Minister Mickey Amery are urging the federal government to repeal Bill C-5, which ended mandatory minimum sentences for drug trafficking, and to reintroduce these penalties. They also want to end conditional sentences for drug-related offenses and increase border security to combat smuggling. If the federal government doesn't comply, Alberta may take over prosecutions and seek federal funding.
