Starts a petition on his website to oppose letting transgendered men to use women's bathrooms. Haha is Harper on holidays? How is Anders dominating Canadian political news. This is great news for transgendered people. That can't get better support if Anders opposes it.
Rob Anders has posted a note on his website that says the bill would give transgendered men access to women's public washrooms.
The Calgary MP is inviting Canadians to sign a petition urging MPs to vote against the bill.
His website says it's the duty of the House of Commons to safeguard children from exposure to giving a man access to women's washrooms.
The New Democrat MP behind the private members bill, Randall Garrison, says Anders' petition is based on "ignorance, misinformation, and fear."
The Victoria MP issued a statement Thursday saying his bill would only amend the Canadian Human Rights Code and hate crime laws to protect the transgendered.
