REGINA — The Saskatchewan government has tabled legislation and the notwithstanding clause to prevent children under 16 from changing their names or pronouns at school without parental consent.
A judge granted an injunction at the end of September pausing the Saskatchewan Party government’s pronoun policy.
Premier Scott Moe pledged the same day to recall the legislature early and invoke the notwithstanding clause, a rarely used provision that allows governments to override certain Charter rights for up to five years.
More coming.
