Canadian Federal Policy Changes Following the Enactment of Bill C-16 (2017)

Canada’s Bill C-16 received Royal Assent in June 2017. The Bill amended the Canadian Human Rights Act by adding gender identity and gender expression to the list of prohibited grounds of discrimination. It also amended the Criminal Code to extend the protection against hate propaganda set out in the Act to any section of the public that is distinguished by gender identity or expression.

Bill C-16’s gender-based analysis is shrouded in mystery and black redactions. There is no evidence the government consulted with all stakeholders before introducing a law that placed women’s rights in obvious and dangerous conflict with the desires and feelings of men who “identify” as women.

The following is a non-exhaustive, evergreen list of policies, procedures and initiatives that have been created or updated by the Government of Canada to support or align with the amended Canadian Human Rights Act.
