In favour (He voted for the Liberal government's Bill C-16 which aims to grant biological males the legal right to access girls washrooms, change rooms and showers. The bill also presents a grave threat to free speech). |

Has he pledged to repeal gender identity bill if becomes Prime Minister? |
No (Based on voting record in favor of gender identity/transgenderism legislation). |
|
Marched in Gay Pride Parade? |
He has not not marched in the gay pride parade, to our knowledge. However, he strongly defended the actions of several 'Conservative' MPs who marched in the Toronto gay pride parade, a controversial event that features naked men walking down the streets of Toronto, mock sex acts, portrayals of sexual bondage and sado-masochism. |
|
Other notable factors |
Although Deepak had a decent voting record in the early part of his career as an MP, in recent times he has been drifting to the left with his votes and public statements. |
