Mr. Speaker, it is really unfortunate that on such sensitive issues members of Parliament should twist and turn the facts that bear no resemblance to the principles involved in this debate.
What is the Reform Party saying? Is the Reform Party saying that it is okay for a member of a political group who is being persecuted to make a claim, that a member of a religious group who is being persecuted is allowed to make a claim, but somehow it is not okay for a member of a social group who is being persecuted, whether it is sexual orientation or gender, to make a claim?
If Reformers are saying that, let us be assured that this side wants to have nothing to do with their kind of world.
