Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Garrison, as you probably know, I was one of the individuals who voted against your bill at second reading. I had some of the concerns you outlined at the beginning, and still do, although I eagerly await your amendments in hope that they might alleviate some of my concerns.
Let's talk about those. With respect to the whole issue of redundancy, if I can call it that, you are no doubt aware that gender identity disorder is a formal diagnosis used by psychologists and physicians to describe persons who experience significant gender dysphoria. It appears to me that if an individual is suffering from gender identity disorder—perhaps suffering is the wrong word—but if they are experiencing gender identity disorder, they are subject to the disability provisions of the Canadian Human Rights Act. Would you agree with that?
