Canadian Identity and Culture Minister Steven Guilbeault resigned from cabinet on Thursday over a disagreement with a deal Prime Minister Mark Carney's government signed with the oil-producing province of Alberta to roll back certain climate rules to spur investment in energy production.

The provincial government has released its latest fiscal update. It shows Alberta's budget is taking a hit due to economic uncertainty.

The Canadian government will enable a clear and efficient approval process for a new, private sector constructed and financed pipeline, with Indigenous Peoples’ co-ownership and benefits. And by working together with a new cooperation agreement, we will maximise the benefits of “one project, one review” for the Alberta portions of any projects.

Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney signed an agreement with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith on Thursday aimed at spurring investment in the energy sector and encouraging the construction of a new oil pipeline to the West Coast.

A Liberal source said Carney is running the Prime Minister's Office like the "CEO of a Fortune 100 company"  that doesn't "operate on consensus, or a great deal of deliberation and consultation."

Alberta’s Office of the Child and Youth Advocate says it has found gaps in care when child intervention workers assessed families in recent years. As CBC's Nicole Healey explains, this finding comes from a review studying 69 children or young adults who died or experienced serious injury.

Falling oil prices and trade troubles continue to threaten Alberta's finances, but the province's deficit is expected to shrink only slightly.

The Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs (UBCIC) says it’s against the MOU signed Thursday morning to build a massive new bitumen pipeline from Alberta to the B.C. coast.
