Video Transcript AI Summary
Alberta has recently joined Saskatchewan and New Brunswick in attacking the rights of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, particularly trans and gender diverse students. This is concerning because these students already face higher rates of suicide, homelessness, and involvement in the child welfare system. Instead of taking away their rights and making spaces less safe, we should be working to protect and further their rights. As the spokesperson for 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, I have been proud to work with my colleagues across party lines to support the rights of trans and gender diverse students in our education system. We will continue to ensure that the government respects their rights and promotes inclusivity and justice in Nova Scotia.

Speaker 0: Hi folks, just hopping on to talk a bit about what we've just heard come out of Alberta who's now joined, provincial leaders and governments in, Saskatchewan and New Brunswick in really attacking the rights of 2SLGBTQIA plus folks and communities. And in particular, making political debate out of the rights and safety of trans and gender diverse students and young people. We're very concerned about that. We know that, in fact, what we should be doing is working to uphold the rights and the health and the well-being of trans and gender diverse students. We know that even now, you know, we see higher higher rates of suicide, higher rates of homelessness, higher rates of, being in the child welfare system amongst young people.
And we need to be protecting their rights and furthering their rights, not taking them away and making space more spaces less safe. I've been really proud over the last couple of years to be the new democratic spokesperson for 2 s LGBTQIA plus communities and issues, and working alongside my new Democrat colleagues in the house, but also trying to work across party lines to get people together. And we have heard from this current government some supportive statements, for, the rights of trans and gender diverse students in our education system. So we're going to be there making sure that this government, continues to respect their rights and look at ways to make our education system, our health system, and, all things provincial more inclusive and more just in Nova Scotia.
