Conservative MP Brad Trost said Ms. Ablonczy was removed from the file because of her decision to fund Pride Week, which its organizers say, is to "celebrate the history, courage, diversity and future of Toronto's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, transgender, intersex, queer, questioning, two-spirited" communities.

Mr. Trost was critical of Ms. Ablonczy for making that decision.
