Thank you, Chair.
Given that proper notice has been given, I move the following:
That, given the comments of the Leader of the Opposition last week in which he suggested he would use the notwithstanding clause if given the chance, and previous statements that the Conservative Party of Canada would require a digital ID to access content on the Internet, the committee report to the House that the committee:
a) Recognizes the importance of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms to protect the rights of all Canadians, including the right to privacy; and
b) Opposes the federal Parliament’s use of the notwithstanding clause in all instances.
Chair, I'll check with you to see if everything is in order before I speak to the motion.
