REGINA - Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe is standing by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith鈥檚 decision to use the notwithstanding clause this week to force striking teachers back to work.

Moe said Friday that the clause, which Alberta used to override teacher rights in the labour dispute, was regrettable but necessary to ensure students can be in class.
