Krog questions timing of Liberal Move on Transgender Rights
Following years of pressure, the B.C. Liberals have finally moved to strengthen transgender rights.
Attorney General Suzanne Anton introduced a bill Monday that added “gender identity and expression” to the Human Rights Code. That bill passed unanimously.
However, Nanaimo NDP MLA and Attorney General Critic Leonard Krog is calling into question the timing of the move by the Liberals.
He believes optics and a looming election are reasons for the change in direction by the government, who for years have argued that the change wasn’t needed.
