The bill would add gender identity and gender expression to the list of prohibited grounds of discrimination in the Canadian Human Rights Act, providing explicit protection for transsexual and transgender Canadians. It would also add gender identity and gender expression to the Criminal Code sections dealing with hate speech and sentencing for crimes where hate was a motivating factor.
Industrial Espionage
Accusations of industrial espionage have also soured Canada-China relations from time to time. In April 2006,
just two months after the Conservative government was sworn into office, the then Foreign Affairs Minister,
Peter Mackay, accused 1,000 Chinese spies of stealing industrial and high-technology secrets in Canada. “It’s
something that we want to signal we are prepared to address and continue to raise with the Chinese at the
appropriate time,” MacKay told CTV.63
Coincidently the accusation echoed similar claims made by two former Chinese officials who defected to
Australia in February 2006.
China’s Ambassador to Canada, Lu Shumin, retorted that Ottawa’s accusation was baseless and not good for
bilateral relations.64 The incident unfortunately created a great deal of anxiety among the Chinese Canadian
community, which felt as if it had come under suspicion.65
