REGINA — An injunction application hearing has begun over Saskatchewan’s policy that affects children who want to use different pronouns or names at school.

The new policy requires students under 16 to receive parental consent if they want to go by a different name or pronoun.

Goldenberg said it also outs students, potentially putting them at risk of harm if they aren't accepted at home. The premier said he would consider using the notwithstanding clause, a provision that allows governments to override certain Charter rights for up to five years. Goldenberg described this correspondence as"weak" evidence, as the constituents and their political representatives were not identified.

UR Pride's lawyers said an injunction would pause the policy while a challenge makes its way through court.
