|Updated:
The Liberals’ conversion therapy bill was fast-tracked in the Senate on Dec. 7, avoiding amendments, debate, and committee study, just as it did in the House of Commons on Dec. 1.

In the previous Parliament, some Conservative MPs argued for amendments to a similar bill that would provide better protection for parents, school guidance counsellors, and clergy. Sixty-two Tory MPs ended up voting against that legislation.
