Madam Speaker, I am delighted to follow my colleague on the parliamentary committee, the hon. member for Cariboo-Chilcotin, because I heard something in his speech that appears to be a departure from normal Reform policy.
As you are well aware, Madam Speaker, and as other members of the House who were here in the previous Parliament are aware, I have a very deep and abiding affection for the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. I feel it is one of the great gifts that the legacy of the Right Hon. Pierre Trudeau left to the people of Canada.
