Thank you so much, Chair.
I'd like to thank all of the witnesses for coming today.
I want to start with you, Zipp.
A lot of the great leaders of our time—Greta Thunberg comes to mind—are younger folks who are pretty wise and provide a lot of guidance. I try to be a good ally. It's important to me. Human rights are important to me.
You said something in your testimony that I'm wondering if you can help me understand better. You said to not make this a political issue. I want your advice, so can I tell you quickly what my conflict is?
People are making it a political issue. You brought that up. You spoke about legislation being put forward. I know you testified in front of Saskatoon's city hall and made these profound statements, including this one that I'm a big fan of: “I deserve to age without fear that the bathroom and change space that allows me to feel safe and at peace will be taken from me.” You said, “When trans adults thrive, trans kids survive.” That's profound. That's very wise.
What do we need to do or not do, as elected officials, to make sure you survive?
