The federal government has tabled a new, tougher version of its previous bill to ban the practice of conversion therapy in Canada.

Bill C-4, tabled Nov. 29, expands on the previous iteration Bill C-6, which did not make it through the Senate and died with the dissolution of Parliament on Aug. 15 when the federal election was called.
