In December, Smith's government invoked the Charter's notwithstanding clause on the transgender rules.

The notwidthstanding clause should not be allowed to over ride international medical consensus, see WPATH.

Smith decided she knows better than the WHO and WPATH so she used the notwidthstanding clause preventing health care of minors who are Trans or Gender Diverse. The organizations that the judge denied where fighting the use of the notwidstanding clause.
