Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Justice.
When he presented his annual report, Max Yalden, chief commissioner of the Canadian Human Rights Commission, severely blamed the government for going back on its promise to amend the Canadian Human Rights Act to include non-discrimination based on sexual orientation. The commissioner even added that this action on the part of the government was a setback for moral logic.
Does the Minister of Justice recognize the government's blatant lack of courage on the issue of discrimination against gays and lesbians, when even the chief commissioner of the Canadian Human Rights Commission blames the government for acquiescing to intolerance by not respecting its election promises?
