The Alberta government said it is considering “all options” following a decision by the Court of King’s Bench to grant an injunction to legislation that prohibits gender transition procedures for minors.
Justice Allison Kuntz granted the injunction on June 27, following a Charter challenge from Egale Canada and the Skipping Stone Foundation, and with five Alberta families, over the Health Statutes Amendment Act. The act bans gender transition surgeries for those younger than 18 years. It also prevents the use of puberty blockers and hormone therapies for children 15 years and younger.
