It would particularly protect vulnerable young children from being forced to undergo conversation therapy or being taken abroad to have that done. Scientists, psychiatrists and psychologists have proved this is harmful. It is very dangerous, and it is counterintuitive. In fact, it creates a higher chance of youths committing suicide or having other adverse personal risks in their lives. This would not prohibit, in my understanding, any conversations, counselling or identity exploration for individuals, especially young adolescents.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6306587\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, le texte n'emp\u00eache aucunement une personne de discuter avec un conseiller spirituel, un directeur de conscience ou un pr\u00eatre et d'en solliciter les conseils, psychologiques ou autres. Il prot\u00e9gera toutefois les jeunes enfants vuln\u00e9rables en emp\u00eachant qu'ils soient soumis de force \u00e0 une th\u00e9rapie de conversion ou qu'ils soient envoy\u00e9s \u00e0 l'\u00e9tranger dans ce but. Les scientifiques, les psychiatres et les psychologies ont prouv\u00e9 que les th\u00e9rapies de conversion \u00e9taient nuisibles, voire tr\u00e8s dangereuses et contraires au bon sens. \u00c0 vrai dire, elles risquent de pousser les jeunes au suicide ou de leur cr\u00e9er d'autres probl\u00e8mes dans leur vie personnelle. Selon la compr\u00e9hension que j'en ai, le projet de loi n'emp\u00eacherait pas les Canadiens, et surtout pas les jeunes adolescents, d'explorer leur identit\u00e9, d'en discuter avec qui que ce soit ou de demander des conseils psychologiques.</p>"
