Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As we saw in the committee report, the committee heard from a number of presenters that we could improve the bill by adding gender identity after sexual orientation. We were told that this gender identity is now currently covered probably by case law under sexual orientation but presenters felt that we could make sure the act was clear by also including the term explicitly.

The committee agreed with that and as you can see in our report said that we would be bringing forward a recommendation in the form of a motion to amend the act so I will present that right now.
