For anyone that didn't read the article but reads this: it's only in Alberta and it's tabled legislation. Hasn't passed yet.

> it's tabled legislation

Is it "tabled" as in "stick in a drawer and forget about it", or "tabled" as in "next on the agenda"?

[kmanraj]

Canada uses the verb "to table" to mean to place on the agenda, which is the opposite of how it's used in the US, where it means to remove from consideration indefinitely.

The definition of tabled used is "next on the agenda" (aka definition 1b instead of 1a for the verb at Merriam Webster [1]).

Generally, articles about Canada, the United Kingdom, and other Commonwealth countries use the 1b definition, whereas articles about the United States typically use the 1a definition. I can't recall any article about Canadian news in particular, which uses the 1a definition for "tabled."

Bill 7 received royal assent in November but Apega has launched an appeal on a ruling by a court.

British Columbia, not Alberta.

You can’t call yourself Alberta unless your a registered Alberta.

Yes, the article is talking about stuff that happened in BC. The last paragraph references legislation in Alberta. Link from last paragraph in the article: https://engineerscanada.ca/news-and-events/news/alberta-gove...
