Original Note:
The NB government is not “taking away rights from 2SLGBTQI+ people”. They are requiring parental consent for children under 16 to change their name or pronouns. https://beta.ctvnews.ca/local/atlantic/2023/6/8/1_6432484.amp.html It is well-established Canadian law that minors need parental consent to change their name. https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/life-events/legal-changes-of-name/legal-change-of-name-application
