Subhead:Premier Smith is taking action to prevent gender ideology activists from revoking key provincial laws.#
In a move to stop gender-ideology activists from overturning provincial laws in the courts, the Alberta government is invoking the notwithstanding clause to protect three major statutes aimed at safeguarding children, strengthening parental rights, and preserving fair competition for female athletes.
Premier Danielle Smith announced that Bill 9, the Protecting Alberta’s Children Statutes Amendment Act, will ensure the province’s laws on youth medicalization, parental consent in schools, and female-only sports remain firmly in place regardless of ongoing or future lawsuits launched by gender-activist groups.
