In an ideal world, Canada would have a more positive attitude towards universal programs that benefit everyone. However, we live in a country that is still largely neoliberal in its approach to fixing social problems. As such, we're stuck doing carve outs for the most vulnerable.
Someone within that community would be better equipped to answer your question than I am, because they're going to have a better handle on what areas of society they feel particularly disadvantaged and vulnerable by. That said, areas such as health care and housing often underserve the queer (especially trans) community, so those are probably the areas that I would start with. Employment services would also probably be helpful, as employment opportunities are often more limited to queer folks because of the real and perceived hostilities that exist within certain industries.
I understand that's a pretty broad/vague answer, but not sure if this is the time or place for ultra-specific policy proposals, especially when I'm not a part of the target community and lack the expertise.
