Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm quite supportive of the amendment; however, I do not support the original motion. I'm rather content with the answer I heard from the minister with respect to achieving equality. Different groups are treated differently. With respect to differential treatment the government is looking at ways it can move forward based on the resources that are available.
I do believe that as a committee it's not our role to reach conclusions of law around how the equality provisions of the charter are being applied. That is, to me, a role of the courts. However, I do appreciate the conversation and I'm satisfied with what I heard from the minister.
