Madam Speaker, I appreciate the member putting the words of Ben into the record. I also want to thank Ben for his courage in sharing his story so hopefully we do not see more victims of conversion therapy.
I would like the member's comments and thoughts on the second reading vote on the legislation. We saw so many members, for the first time, providing qualifications as to why they were supporting it this time, almost setting the stage as to why they would be voting against it at third reading. Hopefully they will not. I appreciate the member's thoughts on that.
I would also like the member's thoughts on us, as representatives. Do we represent the voices of the majority or as decision-makers here, do we bring about laws that will allow more Canadians to be their true, authentic selves?
