Mr. Speaker, the ban on religious headgear in some Legions across Canada is a divisive action.
On behalf of all Canadians who believe in equality I want to thank my hon colleague from Calgary Southeast who cancelled her Legion membership over this issue.
I hope that all members who are Legion members also make their views known.
Understanding each other's religions and cultures is the only way to put an end to intolerance.
Some members of this House have offered to invite me to speak at Legion halls in their ridings. I would offer all members my assistance in this regard to talk to them about the significance of the turban.
Together we can put an end to intolerance.
