     We are now back in session, and we will address Ms. Chow's motion.

next intervention previous intervention

Ms. Olivia Chow (Trinity—Spadina, NDP):
    Thank you, Mr. Chair.

    I will read the motion in its entirety:

   That the Government repeals Section 5.2(1)(c) of the Identity Screening Regulations under the Aeronautics Act which were introduced in August 2011 and which states that "An air carrier shall not transport a passenger: (c) if the passenger does not appear to be of the gender indicated on the identification he or she presents;" as this is a severe discrimination against transgender and transsexual Canadians and a violation of their fundamental right, the freedom of movement, and that this motion be reported back to the House.

The Chair (Mr. Merv Tweed (Brandon—Souris, CPC)):
     Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure and Communities, meeting 21.

    Following our orders of the day, we are dealing with committee business. When we left the last meeting, we were debating a motion brought forward by Ms. Chow.

    Before I open the floor to comments, I will just advise the committee that I will be leaving early today, and I've asked Mr. Coderre to chair as the vice-chair. So if you see people coming and going and me leaving, you'll know why. I will be leaving at about 10:30.

Ms. Olivia Chow (Trinity—Spadina, NDP):
    We'll be done by then.

The Chair:
    Hopefully, if everything works out, we'll all be leaving together.

    With that, the motion was being debated and the floor is open. I believe I had Ms. Morin on my list to make her comments.

    Go ahead, please.
