The Alberta government has tabled legislation that, if passed, will limit the power of regulatory bodies to discipline members for off-duty comments and behaviour.
The legislation known as the Regulated Professions Neutrality Act, commonly referred to as the Peterson Law, is named after Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson, who faced sanctions from the College of Psychologists of Ontario for comments he made on social media.
