Mr. Speaker, gay, lesbian and bisexual people in Canada are getting very tired of waiting for equal rights, not special rights. They are told that this government is saying that our rights are not a priority any longer.
Is it clearly the commitment of the Prime Minister that a bill will be introduced and passed in this Parliament before the next election? This would keep the promise the Prime Minister made in writing in July 1993 which I quote: "The Liberal Party of Canada is firmly committed to banning discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation". Is that clearly the commitment of this Prime Minister in this Parliament?
