Comparing Saskatchewan and Alberta’s parental consent policy
Description
February 1, 2024
The Alberta government is proposing new rules when it comes to parental consent. Children, 15 and younger, will need parental permission to change their name or pronouns at school. Meanwhile, 16 and 17-year-olds will not need permission, but their parents or guardians will be notified. It is similar to what was introduced in Saskatchewan in 2023 in what that provincial government called a "Parents Bill of Rights." Rachel Loewen Walker, a women's and gender studies and political science professor at the University of Saskatchewan, joined Global News at Noon to talk more about that.
