MOTION
Moved
by Mayor J. Watson
Seconded by Councillor C. McKenney
WHEREAS on March 9, 2020, the Government of
Canada introduced Bill C-8, An Act to Amend the Criminal Code (Conversion
Therapy); and,
WHEREAS conversion therapy is defined by Bill
C-8 as:
“… a practice, treatment or service designed to
change a person’s sexual orientation to heterosexual or gender identity to cisgender,
or to repress or reduce non-heterosexual attraction or sexual behaviour. For greater
certainty, this definition does not include a practice, treatment or service
that relates
(a) to a person’s gender transition; or
(b) to a person’s exploration of their
identity or to its development.”; and
WHEREAS
the Preamble to Bill C-8 cites
the harmful effects to persons subjected to conversion therapy, particularly
children, as well as the broader harms it causes to
society by promoting myths and stereotypes about sexual orientation and gender
identity; and
WHEREAS several associations for health professions, such as the Canadian
Psychological Association, the Canadian Psychiatric Association and the
Canadian Paediatric Society, have denounced conversion therapy as a practice
due to its harmful effects; and
WHEREAS some activities associated with
conversion therapy may be criminal offences under the Criminal Code of
Canada in certain circumstances, such as kidnapping, forcible confinement,
assault, and fraud; and
WHEREAS the regulation of conversion therapy is
better sanctioned at the criminal level because of its pervasive harms to
persons; and
WHEREAS any municipal prohibition on or regulation
of conversion therapy may face legislative and jurisdictional challenges, and are
often practiced in secret outside of formal business settings, which are
difficult for municipalities to regulate and enforce; and
WHEREAS it is deemed that regulation of this
practice is better addressed at the federal level where it can be criminalized;
and,
BE IT RESOLVED that City Council formally
denounce the practice of conversion therapy as harmful for individuals, and to society by promoting myths and stereotypes
about sexual orientation and gender identity; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mayor be
directed to send a letter to the Prime Minister of Canada, the Minister of Justice
and the Attorney General, and the Minister of Diversity and Inclusion and Youth,
to express support for the reintroduction of Bill C-8, An Act to Amend the Criminal
Code (Conversion Therapy) as soon as possible in the upcoming session of Parliament,
and to encourage the Government of Canada to pass and implement this
legislation in an expeditious manner; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that City Council hereby
encourages anyone who may have experienced this harmful practice to reach out for
help to the various supports in the community such as The Community Information Centre of Ottawa (211),
Community Health Centres across the city, Family Services Ottawa – Around the
Rainbow, The Royal Mental Health Centre, the Distress Centre of Ottawa’s Mental
Health Crisis Line, and the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa’s Integrated Crisis
Service, amongst others; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that City Council
hereby encourages anyone who suspects that any criminal activity associated
with conversion therapy, such as kidnapping and forcible confinement, has taken
place, to report that activity to the Ottawa Police.
