May 28, 2025
In a rare move, the Canadian Medical Association will file a constitutional challenge Wednesday alongside three Alberta doctors against the province’s legislation that limits access to medical treatment for transgender youth.The national advocacy organization, which represents more than 75,000 physicians, is venturing into new territory by taking a provincial government to court. The CMA says it had no choice but to step in to guard the relationship between patients, doctors and families in making treatment decisions.
