Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I also want to thank all the witnesses for sharing their expertise to enlighten us.
What you are doing today and the work you do in your communities is extremely important. Thank you very much for that.
I want to begin by reassuring everyone who feels that the Conservatives are not using the charter properly. Sometimes, the charter is very important to them.
I introduced in the House of Commons a bill whose scope is international. Almost all Canadians agree that this bill is necessary, as it is likely to promote the respect of human rights. Yet the Conservatives decided to vote against that bill because they felt it was unconstitutional. Occasionally, the Conservatives love bringing up the charter to avoid certain situations.
