Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Canadian Heritage.
Last Wednesday the minister said that he is profoundly against discrimination as a principle. As a result of this principle the minister withdrew funding for the "Writing Thru Race" conference because it discriminated on the basis of race. I applaud the minister for this decision and for standing firm on his principles.
Is the minister also prepared to withhold public funding from organizations or events which discriminate on the basis of gender?
