I have one last question. The final clause of your bill, clause 2, says that “...for every refusal or neglect, or false answer or deception” there's a fine not exceeding $500. To clarify, someone—a new Canadian who doesn't want to tell the government what their religion is—would be subject to a fine up to $500 because they don't want to tell the government what their religion is. What happens if they don't pay the fine? What does the law say, just to be clear, on what happens if someone decides that they don't want to pay the fine because fundamentally they don't believe they should have to tell the government what their religion is?
