Quebec's Family Minister unveiled the three-person committee who will advise the government on gender identity issues Tuesday. But LGBTQ advocates are worried that they are not represented.
The former president of the Council on the Status of Women has been selected to chair a new advisory committee to address issues surrounding gender identity.
The members of Quebec s new committee on gender identity issues share a few things in common: they are experts in their fields, highly accomplished, and none of them are transgender. It s a reality that has not gone unnoticed by advocacy groups in the province.
With the sudden departure of Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) minister Joëlle Boutin, voters in Quebec City s Jean-Talon riding will return to the polls to choose a representative. But the outcome of this by-election is difficult to predict.
