Spring Ottawa Liberal MP Kenneth Robinson (Toronto–Lakeshore) accused the CHRC of "bucking Parliament" by preparing to research the extent of discrimination against gay people in Canada. Robinson said that Parliament had already decided months before not to include sexual orientation in the Human Rights Code. The remarks were made during a Commons Justice Committee review of the Commission's annual budget.
