[LifeSiteNews.com] Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has promised that the province's Bill of Rights will be amended this fall so that there are protections added for people's personal medical decisions that most likely will include one having the right to refuse a vaccine.

Smith's promise to add protections for personal choice on vaccinations comes because of the COVID jab mandates put in place for a time in Alberta under former Premier Jason Kenney.

Speaking to Albertans at a recent town hall in Bonnyville, Smith said that the COVID crisis resulted in many people being discriminated against for their own medical decisions and that "it shouldn't have happened."

Smith, who leads the United Conservative Party (UCP), said that she believes "every person has to be able to do their own assessment, their own health assessment, to be able to make those decisions."

The original plan by Smith was to add protections for one's vaccine status directly [to] Alberta Human Rights Act (AHRA). However, this plan was nixed after she was advised by Public Health Emergencies Governance Review Panel chair Preston Manning that this was not the right legislation for an additional protection.

Instead, Smith promised that a better "law" dealing directly with vaccine status will be forthcoming.

On Monday, Smith confirmed on X that an updated version of the Bill of Rights is coming.

"It's time. Let's get this done," she wrote.

Last year, Smith, as reported by LifeSiteNews, promised to enshrine into "law" protections for people in her province who choose not to be vaccinated as well as strengthen gun rights and safeguard free speech by beefing up the provincial Bill of Rights.
