Mr. Speaker, it is not just first nations who are waiting to get more respect from the government. The LGBTQ community also has reason to worry about the protection of our rights, seeing the Conservative priorities in this budget. The Conservatives are giving a $6 million grant to Crandall University, a private institution that explicitly discriminates against gays and lesbians, prohibiting their employment.
Was the minister aware of this university's discriminatory hiring practices when he approved this grant?
