Mr. Chair, I am in favour of ensuring parity between women and men and referring to gender inclusiveness. Keep in mind that the scientific literature in French distinguishes between a person's biological sex and gender, whereas, in English, the term “gender studies” covers it all.
Of course, I think both are important. It's fine to have the wording cover both gender and sex, so I encourage Mrs. Atwin to move a subamendment to BQ‑5.
