April 28 Toronto Liberal Toronto–St.George MPP Margaret Campbell's private member's bill (Bill C–16), to amend the Ontario Human Rights Code to prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation, was discussed and defeated in the Ontario Legislature. The bill did not come to a vote because, under new rules of the Legislature, it was disqualified after more than twenty Progressive Conservative members, including at least four cabinet ministers, rose to object to it.
