Ministers @DavidLametti and @BardishKW are re-introducing the national ban on conversion therapy today, now known as Bill C-6.

The bill died when Trudeau prorogued Parliament in August. #cdnpoli
As with the last iteration of the legislation, the proposed law would ban the practice for minors but allow adults who seek the practice out to do so.

That& #39;s been a highly contentious part of the bill for many in the LGBTQ2 community: https://www.dailyxtra.com/canada-conversion-therapy-ban-bill-c-18-178588">https://www.dailyxtra.com/canada-co...
Minister Lametti: "There is no unanimity within the Conservative Party [on this bill]."

Some members of O& #39;Toole& #39;s caucus have spoken against it; Lametti says it& #39;s up to O& #39;Toole to figure that out. https://twitter.com/melmarquis/status/1311680290977452033">https://twitter.com/melmarqui...
Trudeau: "Conversion therapy is harmful, degrading and has no place in Canada. I hope all parties can come together to support this bill."
I& #39;m waiting on a clip from O& #39;Toole re: the bill. But right now, we have this tweet from his director of comms, which states the Leader of the Opposition thinks the bill would require some amendments. https://twitter.com/Melanie_Paradis/status/1311678142097035265">https://twitter.com/Melanie_P...
Erin O& #39;Toole calls the Liberals tabling Bill C-6 today politicking. "They want to divide us": https://twitter.com/CBCAlerts/status/1311709892353327104">https://twitter.com/CBCAlerts...
The big issue O& #39;Toole has with the legislation: That it could criminalize conversations between parents and children, or children and faith leaders. He wants the bill to clearly define what conversion therapy is.
