You're going to be hearing from geneticists. I've been working on this bill with the geneticists from SickKids hospital in Toronto, and they're talking about real cases, clinical experience, where you have a child presenting symptoms that could be one of two different diseases as its foundation, and a genetic test will make the difference. Parents have declined getting that test done half the time for fear of future discrimination that child may face. Even though they may have a 5% chance of getting that illness, they don't trust the system. If they sense possible discrimination, they won't get the test, and the child could die. That's the reality.
After the death of that child they would have to go to the Human Rights Commission in their province or territory and take a case forward to a commission after it's too late. We're trying to say it's very different. You got a letter from a Mr. Howard, that he copied me on. It was a stunning letter for me because he doesn't understand the differences. Rights are rights, but the experience and the truncation of those rights have a different effect in different ways. It's quite different on a life-and-death issue like this, where you can have a health impact that makes a difference.
