Notwithstanding clause won’t stop court challenges of Alberta trans laws: groups

Alberta’s plan to invoke the Charter’s notwithstanding clause to uphold new laws restricting transgender rights is facing strong resistance from doctors and LGBTQ+ advocacy groups. A leaked memo revealed Premier Danielle Smith’s government intends to apply the clause this fall to three controversial laws regulating school pronouns, female sports participation, and access to gender-affirming health care.

Two of these laws are already being challenged in court by Egale and Skipping Stone, alongside affected youth and families, who warn of devastating consequences for trans children. The Canadian Medical Association and Alberta physicians have also launched a separate constitutional challenge, arguing the legislation violates medical ethics and the physician-patient relationship.
