I move:

That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to make provision, in the context of evident and persistent unfair discrimination against persons who have been diagnosed with a mental illness or who have in the past been diagnosed with a mental illness, for the protection of certain classes of persons having been diagnosed with a mental illness and to prohibit the discrimination against such persons and to provide for the grant of certain protections in matters of contract law.

Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.
