How critical do you believe it is to have gender identified in the legislation itself? The minister.... We've heard the discussion here about how it's supposed to be helping.... You can even take their approach of, \u201cOkay, we'll deal with diversity later; we're just going to deal with women.\u201d That seems to be the approach that's being made here. How important is having the definition of gender in the actual legislation?</p>",

Selon vous, \u00e0 quel point est-il essentiel de d\u00e9finir les genres dans le projet de loi? Le ministre... Nous avons entendu la discussion selon laquelle l'identification des genres est cens\u00e9e aider... On dirait que l'approche qu'on semble vouloir adopter actuellement, c'est: \u00ab Okay, nous nous occuperons de la question de la diversit\u00e9 plus tard. Pour l'instant, contentons-nous de traiter la question des femmes. \u00bb \u00c0 quel point est-il important de d\u00e9finir les genres dans la loi?</p>"
