I stand to speak on the Conversion Practices Prohibition Legislation Bill, and I commend the intent of the Minister to stop a practice that has been so detrimental to many lives. We cannot deny some of the horror stories that we've heard about conversion therapy treatments, occurring both here and around the world—events that have left detrimental effects on those receiving it. Some have described it as a pseudoscientific technique attempting to change or suppress someone through shaming, emotional manipulation, or through physical trauma. We have heard in this House, in the media, and through accounts of those with lived experience how their psychological, social, emotional, and often spiritual needs have been destroyed by conversion therapy.
