Join the Federal Call to Action – Trans Rights Now!
Recently, Member of Parliament (MP) Randall Garrison (LGBTT critic for the NDP) reintroduced into Parliament a Bill to amend the Canadian Human Rights Act (CHRA) and the Criminal Code of Canada to include gender identity and gender expression as prohibited grounds for discrimination.
This Bill – Bill C-279 – had a previous manifestation, Bill C-389, which made it through Parliament, but died at the Senate when the government was dissolved in March 2011. Now, thanks to the re-introduction by MP Garrison, we have another chance to make these human rights protections a reality.
