Conversion practices are based on the falsehood that a person's sexual orientation, their gender identity, or gender expression can and should be changed. And I know that members on this side of the House utterly reject that falsehood, and that rejection is in our DNA. It is with great pride that I begin the second reading of the debate on this bill to prohibit these practices. I'm also proud that this prohibition is something that draws a line around our caucus and not through it. Our united view is that there is unquestionably no evidence to suggest that conversion practices work. There is, however, clear evidence of the real, serious, and life-altering harm that they can cause, and that is why Labour made a commitment at their 2020 election to ban these practices.
