The government launched the committee in December 2023 after a number of gender-related incidents in schools.
In one case, a school southeast of Montreal received threats after a nonbinary teacher asked to use the honorific Mx – pronounced Miks.
The government also intervened to stop another school from providing gender-neutral bathrooms for students.
The committee called for deepening scientific knowledge about the subject.
