Fourth Tory MP rejects Bill C-4 repeal petition, activist claims
Jeff Evely says four Conservative MPs refused to sponsor his petition, despite Pierre Poilievre vowing to oppose irreversible medical transitions for minors.
A supposed rift has emerged between Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s rhetoric on youth gender transitions and his party’s actions, with four Conservative MPs accused of refusing to sponsor a petition to repeal Bill C-4.
In a video posted this week, military veteran and Mayday Canada member Jeff Evely said Larry Brock became the most recent Conservative MP to decline authorizing House of Commons e-petition E-7314, which seeks to repeal or amend Canada’s conversion therapy law.
“Larry Brock just became the fourth so-called Conservative politician to decline to authorize House of Commons e-petition E-7314,” Evely said.
The activist claimed to have first approached Garnett Genuis, Leslyn Lewis and Matt Strauss, all of whom also declined to sponsor the petition.
Evely then alleges he and detransitioner Faith Grolo, one of Brock’s constituents, later hand-delivered letters to Brock’s constituency office outlining their concerns about Bill C-4, but says the petition was ultimately declined without explanation.
