Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says she doesn't believe she’ll need to invoke the notwithstanding clause to shield her government’s three transgender bills from legal challenges.

The bills passed third and final reading in the legislature this week and are set to become law.

It's anticipated the challenge will be on grounds the bills violate Charter rights, including equality rights.
