Health committee  If I may add to that, one thing that would be helpful would be that instead of building a system that's made for white cisgender young people, start building a new policy or a new thing with the experience, first, of people who are typically the most marginalized. Asking those pe

Health committee  Yes.

Health committee  There are quite a few. There's also the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, which organizes conferences where people can go and learn. It is not a perfect organization, but it is a nice hub to have access to this information. I'm thinking of Belgium, Thailand a

Health committee  Yes. The sexual health needs of many people aren't being recognized, including the needs of trans people, non-binary people, bisexual people and two-spirit people. There are very few resources for prevention, sexual health and education. Very little research is being conducted w

Health committee  Yes. Women's College Hospital in Toronto is looking into providing surgical options in Ontario. B.C. has, in the past, and I think they might be thinking of doing it again—but correct me on that, Jody. Depending on the province, not all provinces will pay for interprovincia

Health committee  It would be important to include transgender people in the census since they've never been included. If we don't have this information, we can't decide where to send the money.

Health committee  Me too.

Health committee  For the Conseil québécois LGBT, the inter-regional aspect is very important. Most people in Quebec don't live in Montreal. We must deal with the regional realities. There are also prejudices against the regions. Even though there are generally fewer services in rural and remote a
