Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the hon. member for Toronto—Danforth for her incredible work and advocacy, and for highlighting this important date. The discrimination that fuels homophobia, biphobia and transphobia must be eliminated, and the work starts right here in the House. That is why our government introduced the LGBTQ2 secretariat in 2017 and invested $7.1 million in budget 2021 to support its work and $15 million for a new LGBTQ2 projects fund. We will continue the work for the LGBTQ2 communities to create a Canada where everyone can live their authentic and true lives.
