Thank you very much for being here today, both of you.
This is probably more for you, Mr. Garrison. During debate of this bill and its predecessors, you will recall that concerns were raised regarding the term “gender expression” and the fact that it was undefined and therefore, for some, potentially vague, and could be widely interpreted.
I really have two questions in one. Do you think adding the term “gender expression” as a prohibited ground in the Canadian human rights code and in the Criminal Code could create vagueness and legal uncertainty? Conversely, do you think the removal of that term would assist the broader public in understanding the intent of this bill?
