MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre stepped into the debate over trans rights on Wednesday, saying "biological males" should be banned from women's sports, change rooms and bathrooms.
Last month, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith unveiled a slate of controversial legislative changes, expected to be tabled in the fall, that will significantly alter the province's student gender identity, sports and surgery policies.
When questioned about Smith's changes in the foyer of the House of Commons, Poilievre said the decision to pursue transgender treatments should be reserved for adults alone.
New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs's changes to Policy 713 require school staff to get the consent of parents before letting LGBTQ students under age 16 use the names and pronouns they choose in classrooms.
Last fall, 69 per cent of delegates to the Conservative Party's policy convention voted in favour of a motion that said those under the age of 18 should be prohibited from accessing "life-altering medicinal or surgical interventions" to treat "gender confusion and dysphoria."
"I think Mr. Poilievre and politicians like him are choosing to attack some of the most vulnerable people in our society as a way of deflecting from the fact that they are very good at creating division and anger," Trudeau said Wednesday.
