The Law Society of Alberta has dissolved its equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI/DEI) committee for 2026 to comply with a new provincial freedom of expression law that bans mandatory EDI education and training.

Law Society of Alberta President Bud Melnyk told The Epoch Times the society’s EDI committee was not re-established as a result of the Regulated Professions Neutrality Act—also known as the Peterson law—that received royal assent last December.
