Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says her government will introduce back-to-work legislation on Oct. 27 if the province’s striking teachers don’t agree to a deal to end the strike by then.
Smith confirmed her government’s intent to table Bill 2, known as the Back to School Act, during an Oct. 23 press conference before the start of the province’s new legislative session, saying the measure is being introduced as “a last resort.”
