A bill to add gender expression to the Manitoba Human Rights Code could infringe on free speech and requires changes and clarification on its parameters, the Opposition PC Party says.

Bill 43, known as The Human Rights Code Amendment Act, aims to add gender expression to section 9, which defines characteristics protected from discrimination.
