This morning, Bill Siksay, the Member of Parliament who proposed Canada's trans rights Bill C-389 reported:

    "The Canadian Press Newswire is reporting that Justice Minister Rob Nicholson is appearing before the Justice Committee on C-389. This is not the case.

    "The Committee is going to go through the bill clause by clause for a short period of time at the end of their meeting this afternoon. They will not be hearing witnesses on it.

    "It is expected that the Committee will send the bill back to the House of Commons for Report Stage and Third Reading. As soon as any further information is available, I will send out another update."
