Thank you, Chair.
I just spoke with Mr. Garrison and we were sharing some personal things that I found very striking.
In speaking about what Mr. Moore is saying and about the motion in general, I would say—and I think everybody here would say—that every person in the 2SLGBTQ community has the right to live without fear and has the right to not be worried, whether they are child or adult, about violence.
I don't think anybody here wouldn't unequivocally denounce any sort of violence to anybody in that community, period, full stop. Mr. Garrison told me a story from his riding about somebody whose flag was burned. A flag is emblematic of so many things when I was thinking about it, including our nation's flag.
It's fairly important that no matter what the discussion is, we all acknowledge—and I think all of us around this table do acknowledge—that this behaviour has no place in Canada, period, full stop. It has no place regardless of the community, and I think that's probably where Mr. Moore—I don't want to speak for anybody else—was going with his amendment.
Sometimes I look around and I think about what we've seen in the last six months and it very much worries me. I want to put my thoughts on the record and do that with as much clarity as I can. This is a bit off the cuff, but I want to be very clear that nobody wants to see violence towards the 2SLGBTQ community, adult or child. We all have a right to live in safety.
