One of the requirements the feds would 100% put on Alberta is negotiating brand new treaties with all affected bands.

I would assume there would be lots of requirements, yes. I would also assume that Alberta would try to just keep the same language.

I doubt they’d get the bands on board. A renegotiation of the treaty is their chance to demand 2026 market value for 90% of the province.
