Trudeau says nothing is off the table when it comes to Smith's new sovereignty act

Prime Minister Trudeau says he's not looking for a fight with Alberta but he says nothing is off the table when it comes to responding to the ``Alberta sovereignty with a united Canada act.'' New Premier Danielle Smith introduced the act yesterday giving her government broad powers. Trudeau says the new legislation is raising eyebrows even in Alberta.
