What I'm hearing right now is that it should now reach third reading in December.
The pace is no longer glacial. :)

While we anxiously await the closing of polling stations across the US and the results of our midterm elections, our trans cousins in the Great White North are anxious for another reason.
Bill C-389, which updates the Canadian Human Rights
[Image]
Act (CHRA) to include gender identity and gender expression as
prohibited grounds of discrimination, and the Criminal Code of
Canada to include gender identity and gender expression in the hate
crime and sentencing provisions is still in committee.
Looks like legislative action is finally stirring on it. Here's the note from NDP MP Bill Siksay, the sponsor of it.:
***
The Canadian Press
Newswire is reporting that Justice Minister Rob Nicholson is appearing
before the Justice Committee on C-389. This is not the case.
The
Committee is going to go through the bill clause by clause for a short
period of time at the end of their meeting this afternoon. They will not
be hearing witnesses on it.
It is expected that the
Committee will send the bill back to the House of Commons for Report
Stage and Third Reading. As soon as any further information is
available, I will send out another update.
Regards
Bill Siksay, MP
Burnaby-Douglas
