"Nearly two years after Quebec passed a law that many in the transgender community saw as a step forward in legal recognition, advocates allege the province is dragging its heels in enacting the change.
Bill 35, passed in December 2013, amends part of Quebec's civil code, removing the requirement that individuals have gender reassignment surgery before changing their gender on official provincial identification.

However, despite the change in legislation, the new regulations haven't been implemented."
