Premier Scott Moe defends decision to recall legislative assembly over pronouns policy

He said when a government implements a notwithstanding clause they will need to justify it to the public due to it only having a lifespan of five years.

He said in the case of the Sask. Party, he believes that the party has such a hold on the province that he doesn’t see it shifting its position. Moe claimed the right that the notwithstanding clause will protect — that is not protected by the Charter — is the right for parental inclusion in the classroom.

“We note that the government is choosing to do this despite today’s injunction, which should have given them pause. A judge agreed that what the government is doing may cause irreparable harm to some of its most vulnerable young people. Just as important, they are acting before a court has had the opportunity to review their proposed policy for its constitutionality. Violating individual rights should not be a decision taken lightly.

On Friday, Moe said that the policy will provide clarity to parents and school divisions about what to expect in the classroom and the policy can’t wait until spring.“What we find of paramount importance is to provide clarity to parents, to families, to school divisions, and ultimately, to educators across our province. This will provide that clarity.”
