Sarnia-Lambton Conservative MPP Bob Bailey says he supports the intent but not the wording. A private members motion to make provincial government forms more inclusive passed Thursday at Queens Park. Sudbury Liberal Glenn Thibeault's motion removes "gendered" terminology in favour of gender-neutral terms. Bailey says to be truly inclusive, the terms "mother" and "father" should not be eliminated from the forms.
