The group, which calls itself Forever Canada , has filed an application to have its referendum petition approved.

Thomas Lukaszuk , who spent time as a deputy premier, said he wants the debate about separation in Alberta to be well-represented by people who want to remain Canadian .

He said he believes the number of Albertans who want the province to remain part of Canada is far larger than those who want it to leave.

In recent months , pro-separatist voices have become louder.

Some First Nations leaders have raised concerns about Bill 54 and its impact on treaty rights.

Adams says a referendum on separation would harm Alberta 's economy regardless of the result.

The Calgary Chamber of Commerce president said she believes the uncertainty will make companies think long and hard about whether they want to invest in Alberta .
