SASKATOON — Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe is defending his decision to recall the legislative assembly early and use the notwithstanding clause to ensure the province's pronoun policy in schools stays in place.
Speaking to reporters in Saskatoon, Moe says he wants to provide clarity to families and school divisions.
Moe first made the comments Thursday, shortly after a judge granted an injunction to pause the policy that requires parental consent when children under 16 want to go by different names and pronouns at school.Moe says the policy has strong support from Saskatchewan residents and parents. The legislative assembly is to be recalled on Oct. 10 to use the notwithstanding clause, a provision that allows governments to override certain Charter rights for up to five years.
