In this episode, Paula and Jason Lavigne discuss the implications and controversies surrounding Alberta’s Bill 24 and the Alberta Bill of Rights draft. With insight into what was presented and debated during the United Conservative Party (UCP) AGM, they uncover discrepancies between what members voted on and the official version moving through legislative channels.
Key Segments:
Clarifying the Draft Alberta Bill of Rights
Paula and Jason explore the confusion surrounding the members' version of the draft Bill of Rights versus what was debated in committee. The “Black Hat Group” members’ version proposed 22 rights, including freedom of religion and property rights. However, many UCP members were unaware of significant differences between this version and the actual Bill 24 that was officially submitted.
Bill 24: What’s Really in It?
Jason reveals critical details from the actual Bill 24, including a “notwithstanding” clause similar to that in Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which allows for rights to be limited under specific conditions. He discusses why this clause raises concerns about undermining fundamental rights, echoing warnings from Hon. Brian Peckford.
Audience Call to Action
Paula and Jason emphasize the importance of public awareness and urge viewers to contact their representatives, raise questions, and share information to ensure that Albertans are informed about what Bill 24 entails and how it could impact their rights.
