Madam Speaker, I seek unanimous consent of the House, following consultations, to present the following motion:
That this House, taking note of the courage and valour displayed by war veterans of all religious faiths, urge the Royal Canadian Legion to reconsider its recent decision to allow individual branches to deny entry to members wearing religious headgear, including the Sikh turban and Jewish kipa, and that pending such reconsideration all branches of the legion be urged to respect the
fundamental principle of religious freedom in Canada and permit equal access to all members, including those wearing religious headgear.
I seek unanimous consent of all members to put this motion before the House today.
