In 2018, we submitted a brief to the National Assembly of Quebec entitled, "Who wants to cure homosexuality?", which told the story of Gabriel Nadeau, who had undergone conversion therapy.
Perhaps you've met Mr. Nadeau. His story is very moving. He underwent a type of conversion therapy that I want to call "exorcism". That concept is woven into the title of his book.
Religious communities should be made aware of the Canadian and Quebec statutes respecting conversion therapies so that their practices don't break the law.
We should also ensure that penalties are imposed when individuals actually break the law that prohibits conversion therapies.
As we mentioned, that's one of the challenges involved in enforcing the act. The police must have a free hand and be familiar with the current legislation so they can investigate places where this type of service is offered.
