OTTAWA, Ontario, 5 December, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A high ranking representative from the Canadian Human Rights Commission (HRC) told the Canadian Justice Committee last week that a private member’s bill that would afford special federal protection to so-called ‘transgender’ men and women “strictly speaking…isn’t necessary”.
The HRC representative said that “the commission, the tribunal, and the courts view gender identity and gender expression as protected by the Canadian Human Rights Act [CHRA].”
The comment was made by Ian Fine, acting secretary general, secretary general’s office, Canadian Human Rights Commission during the 53rd meeting for Justice and Human Rights last Tuesday.
