In a video message posted Tuesday on her X account, Smith said that the United Conservative Party (UCP) government under her leadership is "bringing in these new rules for only one purpose."

"We are now prepared to introduce the legislation implementing these new policies and will do so when the legislature is back in session," Smith said.

"Licensed Alberta doctors will be prohibited from performing gender assignment surgeries on youth under the age of 18 in Alberta."

Regarding puberty blockers and hormone therapies for "the purpose of gender reassignment for minors under the age of 16," Smith said these will also be "prohibited unless a minor has already commenced their treatment at this time."

"For 16- and 17-year-olds wishing to proceed with puberty blockers or other hormone therapies for the purpose of gender reassignment, they may do so only if they have parental,psychologist and Dr. approval," she added.

Smith also verified that the proposed legislation would require parental notification and consent for a "teacher or staff member to change a child's name or pronoun and publicly use that new name or pronoun in a classroom setting or school asset."

About the proposed law, Smith said that her government believes it is "vitally important to preserve the time" kids have as a "youth." She added that she believes this is so kids can "gain sufficient amount of knowledge, experience, and perspective so that you can fully understand who you are, who you want to be and what opportunities you may want to have as an adult before making permanent life-altering decisions related to your body."
