Coun. Andrew Stevens, chair of the committee, stopped the conversation, saying Shaw was close to comparing pedophilia and child abuse to homosexuality and that she'd be out of order if she did so.
Shaw spoke to CBC after the committee meeting. Asked if she was comparing the two, Shaw said "absolutely not."
"I would like to apologize ... I did not mean any harm," Shaw said. "I acknowledge that the comment came in the wrong way and I accept that. And I apologize for that and say that was not my intent."
"Just if you ban all behavior therapy, you're banning everything. And that's what I'm worried about."
