This is the best summary I could come up with:

Speaking to reporters on Parliament Hill before a Conservative caucus meeting, Poilievre said the decision to pursue transgender treatments should be reserved to adults alone.

The Canadian Pediatric Society (CPS) has said that "gender-affirming medical interventions may be an important component of comprehensive care" for some transgender or gender-diverse adolescents.

The CPS says hormone therapy produces both reversible and irreversible changes and should only be provided to young people who "demonstrate the capacity to understand and appreciate both the benefits and risks of these medications, given their profound effects."

While the national conversation about trans care was prompted by Smith's policy announcement, Poilievre said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is to blame for whipping up the public and the media.

Poilievre called trans health care "a divisive wedge" that's being used by the Liberal government to "distract from doubling housing costs and quadrupling carbon taxes."

Employment Minister Randy Boissonnault, a gay man who has become a vocal critic of Smith's plan, has spoken out about Alberta's push to demand that some trans kids get parental consent before using their preferred names and pronouns at school.
