Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I have a question for both Mr. Garrison and Sara Davis Buechner.
Mr. Garrison, I wonder if you could share with us the experiences of jurisdictions that have explicitly identified gender identity as a prohibited ground of discrimination—Ontario, Manitoba, the Northwest Territories. Have they reported an increase in accessibility to services for these individuals, on the one hand, or a decrease in criminal offences against them on the other?
My question somewhat follows that of Brent Rathgeber's, but it's not..... While recognition is important from the symbolic point of view, I'm talking about the consequential effects of having this type of inclusion in the law.
