Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says parents themselves are the “leading experts” on their children as the government faces criticism for a new policy requiring parental consent to change a child’s pronouns or gender identity at school.

“I’ve been asked what experts we consulted in creating the Parental Inclusion and Consent policy. I believe the leading experts in children’s upbringing are their parents,” said Mr. Moe on the social media platform X on Aug. 27.
