The last hour of debate on C-279

by Aaron Wherry on Friday, March 8, 2013 3:23pm - 0 Comments

C-279, the transgendered rights bill, received its final hour of debate last night at report stage. Included therein were the objections of David Anderson, the resounding support of Sean Casey and Megan Leslie and a fascinating speech from an emotional Michelle Rempel. Ms. Rempel was one of the 15 Conservatives who supported the bill at second reading.

The votes on the proposed amendments and the bill will take place March 20.
