Clause 4 of the order: the results of the referendum are not to be binding. Elections Alberta publishes the same wording and states that it may not interpret the questions.
“Do you support the Government of Alberta introducing a law mandating that only Canadian citizens, permanent residents and individuals with an Alberta-approved immigration status will be eligible for provincially-funded programs, such as health care, education and other social services?”
Clause 4 of the order: the results of the referendum are not to be binding. Elections Alberta publishes the same wording and states that it may not interpret the questions.
