Mr. Speaker, the hon. member will be happy to know that both this minister and the government are moving quite freely, thank you very much. We are not paralysed by anything in this connection.
I want to take this opportunity to emphasize the commitment of this government in that regard. As I have said, as the Prime Minister and the Deputy Prime Minister have said, this government is committed to the introduction of amendments to the Human Rights Act to add sexual orientation as grounds on which discrimination is prohibited. I think it is not so much a question of timing. It is a question of principle and commitment and that bill will be introduced in this House.
