"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6359208\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, trans rights are human rights. That is why I was proud to vote in favour of Bill <a data-HoCid=\"8269852\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-16/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Criminal Code\">C-16</a>, which entrenched trans rights in the Canadian Human Rights Act in the last Parliament. It is also why I was proud to vote in favour of banning conversion therapy by voting in favour of Bill <a data-HoCid=\"10871883\" href=\"/bills/43-2/C-6/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code (conversion therapy)\">C-6</a> at second reading last month. However, despite the tremendous progress we have made toward ensuring the protection of the rights of trans Canadians over the past five years, we still have much work to do to ensure that we eradicate transphobia in Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6359209\" data-originallang=\"en\">On this Transgender Day of Remembrance, let us reflect upon the lives that have been lost as a result of transphobia, and the hatred, violence and discrimination it fosters. Let us redouble our commitment to tackling the scourge of transphobia and ensuring that the rights of all trans Canadians are protected.</p>",

Cela dit, malgr\u00e9 les immenses progr\u00e8s que nous avons r\u00e9alis\u00e9s, depuis cinq ans, en mati\u00e8re de protection des droits des Canadiens transgenres, il reste encore beaucoup \u00e0 faire pour mettre fin \u00e0 la transphobie au Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6359209\" data-originallang=\"en\">\u00c0 l'occasion de cette Journ\u00e9e du souvenir trans, prenons le temps de penser aux personnes qui ont perdu la vie \u00e0 cause de la transphobie, source de haine, de violence et de discrimination.
