With respect, you will agree that this is not a very conclusive argument. I can understand that people may be shy, that we need to encourage parents to teach their youth to feel comfortable with their sexuality, but the purpose of this bill, it seems to me, does not quite fit with the argument you've just put forth.
If you'll allow me, I have a question for the professor from the University of Ottawa.
I am a student at the civil law faculty; I'll be finishing this year and I look forward to it. I hope you're not the type of professor to give your students a final exam that counts for 100% of their mark. But that is another question.
I'm concerned about incompatibility. Unlike Mr. Moore, I think it is something we need to look at. Before we pass legislation, if we have reason to believe there may be some encroachment into provincial and territorial areas of jurisdiction, specifically with respect to marriage and to age-related conditions, I would like you to clearly point to any potential problems of incompatibility.
Would you go so far as to postpone the passage of the bill until we hear from constitutional experts as to the way in which it may potentially be incompatible with provincial areas of jurisdiction?
