By Hilary White
OTTAWA, December 13, 2007

(LifeSiteNews.com ) - An NDP Member of Parliament has introduced a bill to add yet another in a growing and long list of groups to the hate crimes act. Now its the "transgendered" who are being presented as an "identifiable group" against whom it would be a criminal offence to "discriminate."

Bill Siksay, MP for Burnaby-Douglas in British Columbia who is himself a homosexual, has introduced, bill C-494, that would add the terms "gender identity" and "gender expression" to the criminal code under the section addressing "hate crimes".

Siksay is well known as one of Canada's most energetic Parliamentary homosexual activists who has recently made "transgender" a key focus of his work.
