It seems that if you're going to challenge anybody it would have been me, considering that Vic Toews is ostensibly from my faith tradition, the Mennonite faith tradition, and is responsible for this bill. Yet, here I am speaking against it.
What that shows you is the diversity that can occur within a particular faith tradition. I can say that I know hundreds of Mennonites who are putting their faith in action by volunteering in circles of support and accountability, by giving their lives to work with victims, to work with offenders, and who recognize the complexity of the issues in front of us. They have a wide range of ideas too. They would certainly expect this government to take the time to do the right thing given the evidence that is before you. That's all we can expect.
