I appreciate, Mr. Chair, the latitude to those of us who are pulled to committee by the motion you passed and don't have the opportunity to present it at the report stage.
I appreciate the chance to plead once again with the Liberal members of this committee to consider that passing Bill C-14 with the language that you find in subparagraph (a)—and then I'll come back to (b) and (d) on other amendments—will have the effect of passing legislation that is not charter-compliant. It will be one that does not meet the standards of section 7 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and will create more litigation and more uncertainty instead of doing what's required of lawmakers, regardless of personal opinion or lobby efforts by groups that failed at the Supreme Court of Canada. We have a unanimous Supreme Court of Canada decision, and it's our obligation to meet its terms.
