Alberta Introduces Jordan B. Peterson's Law

Alberta will continue being a place where free speech is defended.

Cases across Canada —like the high-profile disciplinary proceedings of Dr Jordan B Peterson, nurses, and other professions— demonstrate how regulatory bodies can extend their reach into personal expression rather than professional competence.

Today our government unveiled Bill 13 "the Regulated Professions Neutrality Act", which if passed, would:

☑️ Limit professional regulatory bodies from disciplining professionals for expressive off-duty conduct, except in specific circumstances such as threats of physical violence or a criminal conviction.

☑️Restrict mandatory training unrelated to competence or ethics, such as diversity, equity, and inclusion training.

☑️Create principles of neutrality that prohibit professional regulatory bodies from assigning value, blame or different treatment to individuals based on personally held views or political beliefs.
