Thank you very much for your question, Ms. St-Denis.
As you have stated, you haven't had the opportunity to review this legislation in depth. I hope you will do that before the next vote, simply because I believe that this is an issue—and Mr. Simms from the Liberal Party saw it as well—not of the left wing or the right wing. It's not a partisan issue. It's actually an issue I think all parties should be on board with. I think when you sit down, look at the actual facts, and at how this is played out, and really, when you look at the infringement of freedom of speech in our country that this has imposed, I believe that—hopefully—you'll give it a second look.
As for whether I've consulted Canadians throughout every province in our country, I personally haven't been to every single province and territory in our country to discuss this legislation, but I have received correspondence. With the amazing mass communication and today's technology, I have had dialogue from Canadians in I believe pretty much every province in the country.
There are some mixed opinions on it, but as you discuss it more and bring more education to light, Canadians in general, I have found, from each corner of our great country, feel that freedom of speech and expression in our country is one of the fundamental principles we have. It's one of our core building blocks of our democracy.
