Mr. Speaker, the third petition is with respect to Bill C-6 that would ban conversion therapy.
The petitioners are supportive of efforts to ban conversion therapy, but they are also very concerned about the definition of conversion therapy as written in the bill. They believe we should be seeking to ban coercive and degrading practices, but should not be restricting the ability of people to have conversations in which personal views on sexuality are shared.
The petitioners call for amendments to be made to the bill to clearly address these ambiguities in the drafting of the definition.
