![Good morning,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your thoughts on Bill 9, Protecting Alberta’s Children Statutes Amendment Act. We are happy to share with you, MLA Guthrie’s written response:
When legislation is introduced in the House, MLAs have not read the bill nor received a briefing beforehand— or at least, the UCP does not provide these in advance.
First Reading is simply the introduction stage; the bill cannot be reviewed until it is tabled. Without prior disclosure from the Government, we do not know its contents at that point.
It is rare to vote against a bill at First Reading without prior knowledge, which is why we voted in favour of receiving/reviewing the bill.
Now that I’ve seen its purpose—to amend three prior pieces of legislation with the only objective being implementation of the “notwithstanding” clause - once again circumventing the courts—I will not support Bill 9 in later voting stages.
Thank you to everyone who takes the time to share their thoughts on legislation before the Assembly. Your feedback is important and greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,[truncated]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ocw6yaypke5sqgvumntlczdz/bafkreichp7drdhupztzkluxcp7yfmsjinm447wlwjozuenkdqnkzphsx3u)
