Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I do appreciate Mr. Moore's comments. These lines are critical in the bill, and that's why, after discussions with Mr. Virani, I have agreed.... Well, I would like broader changes in that section, and the government is not prepared to entertain those. For me, the most important goal here is to make sure that gender expression is part of the bill and that we are protecting Canadians against attempts to change their gender identity or their gender expression.
Being a realist, I'm prepared to accept that his changes here are in the spirit of what I was trying to do to ensure that inclusion. Of course, I prefer my own language in the two amendments that follow, but I'm prepared to accept this and I think it's an important expansion of protections in the bill.
Thank you.
