Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Madam Demers, I do believe the girl was not excommunicated. According to canon law, the girl was never excommunicated and she cannot be excommunicated because of her age. I think that is still one of the issues we need to look at. And we need to get facts and obviously not look at the press, because the press will have their own interpretation. We need to look at the actual facts. That's my one concern, that she never was actually excommunicated.
My other concern is that I don't believe the government has any right or any jurisdiction to comment on religious practices. I think we have to be very careful.
But initially we need to make sure that our facts are correct, and she was not excommunicated.
