Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s scheduled appearance before a House of Commons environment committee next week has been cancelled.

Smith had said she would speak before the environment and sustainable development committee on Tuesday.

Her spokesman says the premier would be happy to rebook her appearance for a later date.
