Saskatchewan forging ahead despite children\u0027s advocate saying pronoun policy in schools \u0022clearly discriminates\u0022 against transgender kids.

“The Sask. Party’s outing policy violates the rights of children. This policy should be scrapped,” Opposition education critic Matt Love said in a brief statement Friday in response to the report.

“If necessary, that would be one of the tools that would be under consideration — yes,” Moe said in an interview Wednesday when asked whether the notwithstanding clause was an option on the table. The last time the province invoked Section 33 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms was under Premier Brad Wall in 2017 in response to a, then, Court of Queen’s Bench decision that ruled governments should not be allowed to give funding to Catholic schools for non-Catholic students.
