Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Of course, I'm going to speak in favour of this amendment.
It goes back to the Canadian Human Rights Commission itself. And there was some conflicting information even in their own suggestion—unless I've misinterpreted it—but one of the things they do note in their own document is that the commission and tribunal have neither the capacity nor the expertise to interpret sections 25 and 35. So it would seem important that people acknowledge the fact that if we took section 25 of the charter—which obviously is valid and relevant—and restated it here in this piece, it would just seem to be a reaffirmation of those rights. And if people agree that the charter stands, then I'm not sure what the argument there is against including it here. I think we heard sufficient testimony from a variety of witnesses that there would be some assurance for people in having this included and showing that these rights are recognized. So I think it's important that we include this clause in the proposed piece of legislation before us.
