Guest: Nicholas Schiavo, founder of No Conversion CanadaThere was an important piece of legislation brought to the Senate last month, but with senators now on summer break and the possibility of an election looming, that legislation might be lost. Bill C-6 would ban conversion therapy, a widely discredited practice that claims to change someone’s sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.
