When Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau rose in the House of Commons on Tuesday to offer an historic apology to the LGBTQ community for years of discrimination, all parties rose to their feet in solidarity, save for a few members of the Conservative Party of Canada.

One such person was Kitchener-Conestoga MP Harold Albrecht, who remained seated and afterward said that the Prime Minister went too far when he expressed his support for children discovering their sexual orientation or gender identity as young as the age of six.

As if this action by Albrecht, 68, weren't enough, the former evangelical pastor and dentist also refused to stand and applaud when Trudeau offered a sweeping apology to the Canadian people for the existence of Justin Bieber.

In his apology, Trudeau said that "For too long the Canadian public has been subjected to the 'music' and antics of Stratford native Justin Bieber. Lives have been diminished, relationships have been torn asunder, and eardrums have been subjected to unconscionable material. Children as young as six years old have known for a long time that this is not true music. On behalf of the government of Canada, I sincerely apologize."

However, Albrecht, elected in 2013, refused to rise to his feet after the historic apology. Afterward, he stated that "young children can't possibly know by the age of six whether they think Mr. Bieber's music is an abomination or not. My grandkids for example love Justin. The apology went too far." He then sat down in his chair in the House of Commons, reportedly humming Bieber's hit Love Yourself.
