Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Govender and Mr. Currie, thank you both for being here today.
Ms. Govender, on your website your organization is described as being “committed to a vision of feminism that is inclusive of persons who are transgender and/or intersex and of their equality rights to be free from sex and gender discrimination.” Respecting intersectionalities and the role the organization plays in working with indigenous peoples as well, I have a policy question. Could you please advise this committee or make us aware of any issues related to gender identity or gender expression that this committee should be mindful of when we're making our recommendations in terms of legal aid funding and how the system is structured?
Then there's the organization writ large. Could you share with us some examples of cases in the LGBTQ community, whether they be refugee cases or same-sex domestic violence cases? What are the types of cases you see in B.C. within this particular community? Then I'll have follow-up questions.
