I would have to say that I was very impressed with the recommendation that came forward from your party on this.
We have seen with this recent case in Quebec the implications of using a religious defence. Certainly I think it's something we have to continue to examine. I'm discussing it right now with the Department of Justice and with others.
At this stage of the game, I'm not going to offer a final conclusion, but I am very interested in exploring this as an option. We are seeing it used in this country and in other places as a defence that, frankly, does not stand the ground in these very difficult times.
Thank you.
