Good news is we have those checks and balances already. Since 2009 Canada has recognized the right of minors to obtain or decline health care services on their own or over the objection of their parents. This is the mature minor doctrine and it was settled in the Supreme Court.
In most jurisdictions, medical professionals and other licensed practitioners determine if the person seeking care can give informed consent or rejection of a procedure (including full understanding of the consequences, sound mind, etc) before performing it. This means doctors and patients determine the course of care and make private medical decisions.
In Pierre's world, and Danielle's world, they know better than doctors and patients and would deny care, which we know for a fact leads to suicidal ideation in trans teens. Pierre doesn't care about that, he literally doesn't care if these kids die because they can't get the care they need as long as he can make a wedge out of it. The fucking nerve of Pierre to call this a distraction.
I mean, they aren't going to become CPC voters anyway. It's to his benefit to let them die.
