We hear of stigma, stigma, stigma all the time, and it's obviously a huge issue. You went through some of the federal government's—maybe I can put it this way—“contributions to stigma”. We know about the Criminal Code, the criminalization of HIV disclosure and other things, but one thing that was not mentioned is the continued ban on men who have sex with men from contributing blood. I've heard enough evidence at this point to come to my opinion that there is no scientific basis for that. In fact, to make a discriminatory assumption that a gay man is engaging in high-risk sex activities when, with a heterosexual man, that assumption is not made shows the absurdity of that, yet this government still has a one-year ban precluding men who have sex with men from donating blood.
Is that not a form of federal stigma that we could easily remove, particularly if it has no scientific basis? How does it impact gay men? Does that affect them? How do they feel about that ban?
