Bill Siksay, Member of Parliament for Burnaby-Douglas, has announced that he will not be running again, in the next election:

[...]

And I will continue to work on the issues of the day.

The issues of the day include Bill C-389, which proposes to add gender identity and gender expression to the Canada Human Rights Act and the hate crimes clause of the Criminal Code of Canada.  He adds a separate note to trans people:

    This does not mean that I am abandoning Bill C389 and the struggle for full and explicit human rights for transsexual and transgender Canadians. I will continue to work hard to get the Bill through the House and off to the Senate before an election.
