Many of the proposals in Bill M-216 are unprecedented in the Canadian context. It's because it's based off of U.S. model legislation.

    On October 8, 2025, B.C.’s new far-right party, OneBC, introduced its first piece of anti-trans legislation: Bill M-216, the “Protecting Minors from Gender Transition Act”.

      It is actually an adaptation of U.S. anti-trans group “Do No Harm”’s model legislation, “The JUST FACTs Act”, which was also used in numerous anti-trans bills across the United States since 2023. Traces of Bill M-216 can be seen a bit everywhere in U.S. legislation: with Montana Senate Bill 99 (2023), with New Mexico Senate Bill 500 (2025), and with Kansas Senate Bill 63 (2025), amongst others.
