Thank you, Minister.
My point is that I believe strongly that when we make decisions as government, it should be evidence-based and fact-based. I see that missing here.
I think the legislation is addressing a gap that doesn't exist. I think our current description, under both the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Criminal Code, provides a broad enough description and is adequate enough to prosecute all cases, including those where transgender people have felt discrimination. I really don't think there's a need to be specific and explicit in legislation to address that concern. I think it's well addressed.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
