Mr. Angus, in his comments, for example, has been quite explicit in thinking that the Christian faith should be privileged over other faiths in our society, and I must say that has been quite a surprise. I'd be most disappointed in seeing that commentary. If we believe in a secular society, if we believe in a society in which all faiths are equal, then there is no reason to privilege one, and certainly one should at least make the effort to give reasons other than that we need to protect the day of worship of Christians, but not of other people, which effectively has been his argument, Mr. Chairman. I'm sure he'll want to revisit that point of view.
