The UCP Caucus won't be throwing it's support behind the NDP's Bill 24 on Gay/Straight Alliances in Alberta schools.

Leader Jason Kenney says they'll oppose the Bill which would make it illegal for schools to inform parents if their kids join a GSA, unless the child gives consent, or under extreme circumstances.

Kenney says school officials are in a better position to determine what's best for students versus the NDP's plans of using the "blunt instrument of law."

Premier Rachel Notley says the Bill ensures the protection of children who need it.

UCP House Leader Jason Nixon says however UCP members won't be told how to vote on Bill 24.
