We have learned that the justice minister will not be tabling the bill to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation for what he calls strategic reasons. And yet this was one of the commitments made in the red book, and repeated by the Prime Minister. The Minister of Justice had promised to take action by the spring, then by June, September, the fall, and now he is talking of another postponement.</p>\n<p>Are we to understand that the Minister of Justice is completely paralyzed by the Flintstone wing of his party, which systematically opposes any bill to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation?</p>",
