I hope this message finds you well. We all agree forced conversion therapy should be banned, but Bill C-4, which just passed the senate with a standing ovation, will now be responsible for denying people a chance to receive the counseling they may desire. By rendering any therapy or counselling that encourages or directs an individual to reduce non-heterosexual attraction or behaviour as illegal, you are placing limitations on the kinds of help available to consenting members of the LGBTQ+ community. Canadians have a right to seek counselling and guidance without the risk of penalizing their therapist, pastor, or parent. I implore you to reconsider the passing of this discriminatory and detrimental bill.
