New Brunswick opted to make policy changes. Saskatchewan made changes via legislation. Policy 'interfering ideologically' in healthcare: expertįae Johnstone, a transgender woman and executive director of Queer Momentum based in Ontario, said Alberta's policies go further than what Saskatchewan and New Brunswick are doing. More detail is coming at a news conference on Thursday afternoon. "Prematurely encouraging or enabling children to alter their very biology or natural growth, no matter how well intentioned and sincere, poses a risk to that child's future that I, as premier, am not comfortable with permitting in our province." "Making permanent and irreversible decisions regarding one's biological sex while still a youth can severely limit that child's choices in the future," she said. Smith said she didn't want to encourage or allow children to alter their biology or growth because she said it would pose a risk. It's unclear which changes would be done by law or by government policy and when any of the changes would take effect. The new policy also forbids transgender women from competing in women's sports leagues. Smith said the government will work with leagues to set up co-ed or gender-neutral divisions for sports.
