"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3094337\" data-originallang=\"en\">Thank you, Mr. Chair.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3094338\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Garrison, as you probably know, I was one of the individuals who voted against your bill at second reading. I had some of the concerns you outlined at the beginning, and still do, although I eagerly await your amendments in hope that they might alleviate some of my concerns.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3094339\" data-originallang=\"en\">Let's talk about those. With respect to the whole issue of redundancy, if I can call it that, you are no doubt aware that gender identity disorder is a formal diagnosis used by psychologists and physicians to describe persons who experience significant gender dysphoria. It appears to me that if an individual is suffering from gender identity disorder\u2014perhaps suffering is the wrong word\u2014but if they are experiencing gender identity disorder, they are subject to the disability provisions of the Canadian Human Rights Act. Would you agree with that?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3094337\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3094338\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur Garrison, vous savez sans doute d\u00e9j\u00e0 que je suis un des d\u00e9put\u00e9s qui ont vot\u00e9 contre votre projet de loi \u00e0 l'\u00e9tape de la deuxi\u00e8me lecture. J'avais certaines des r\u00e9serves que vous avez \u00e9nonc\u00e9es au d\u00e9but de votre d\u00e9claration et je les ai encore, quoique j'attends avec impatience de prendre connaissance de vos amendements pour voir s'ils pourraient les apaiser.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3094339\" data-originallang=\"en\">xxxParlons donc de mes r\u00e9serves. En ce qui concerne la question de la redondance, si je peux utiliser ce terme, vous savez certainement que le trouble de l'identit\u00e9 sexuelle est un diagnostic formel utilis\u00e9 par des psychologues et des m\u00e9decins pour d\u00e9crire l'\u00e9tat des personnes qui souffrent d'une importante dysphorie sexuelle. Si une personne souffre d'un trouble de l'identit\u00e9 sexuelle \u2014 il faudrait peut-\u00eatre utiliser un autre mot que souffrir \u2014, elle est vis\u00e9e par les dispositions de la Loi canadienne sur les droits de la personne relatives \u00e0 l'invalidit\u00e9. \u00cates-vous de cet avis? </p>"
