Rob Anders, MP for Calgary West, wants to hear from Canadians who oppose the Bathroom Bill, Bill C-279.
Anders has a petition calling on the House of Commons “ to protect and safeguard our children from any exposure and harm that will come from giving a man access to women’s public washroom facilities.”
Bill C-279 will amend the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Criminal Code to include “gender identity” and “gender expression” as prohibited grounds of discrimination. If passed, this Bill could protect male access to women’s washrooms.
The Bill is now before the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights. REAL Women of Canada applied to present a brief to this Committee but has not been notified of acceptance. Justice Committee hearings begin November 20th, and it is possible the Bill will be pushed through Parliament immediately after the hearings.
