Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to all the witnesses.
Mr. Fine, you said you had three points, and I certainly agree with the first two.
Discrimination and harassment experienced by people who are transgendered is hostile and violent. I absolutely agree.
The commission and the tribunal view gender identity and gender expression as protected by the Human Rights Act. I absolutely agree.
Your third point is that if this bill is passed it would make the human rights protection explicit. I don't know what that means. I will tell you why I don't know what that means. It's because the tribunal has made it perfectly clear, in the most emphatic of words—and these are their words, not mine—in Montreuil v. the Canadian Forces in 2009, that there's no longer any doubt that discrimination based on transexualism is discrimination based on sex or gender as well as discrimination based on disability. I don't know what could be more explicit than that.
What do you mean in your third point that this bill makes that protection more explicit?
