The bill aims to ban so-called conversion therapy, which involves forcing a person into therapy against their will.

Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole says he'll allow MPs free votes on two bills that are controversial within his party.

It's long past time to outlaw the tortuous treatment of conversion therapy, Bill Kelly says.

When the Liberals decided to prorogue Parliament in August, it ended the bill's march through the legislative process and it had to be reintroduced.

Bill 599 seeks to penalize conversion therapy, which is any attempt aimed at changing someone's sexual orientation.

Both bills are controversial among social conservatives, who proved to be a decisive factor in O'Toole's victory early Monday in the Conservative leadership race.

Ottawa city council will consider a motion to denounce conversion therapy at an upcoming meeting.

A ban on conversion therapy has been discussed for years, Crystal Goomansingh reports. But by 2020, no concrete action has been taken.

NDP MLA Spencer Chandra Herbert is calling on BC Liberal leader Andrew Wilkinson to toss Chilliwack Kent MLA Laurie Throness from the party's caucus.

Lethbridge has joined a handful of other Alberta municipalities, including Calgary and Edmonton, in the banning of conversion therapy.
