Mr. Speaker, I will be very brief. I want to ask a question of the member for London-Middlesex. Subject to what the member for Delta has just said, he did not go on to make the real point that I thought might have been missing here and might be a linchpin in supporting the amendment of the member for Broadview-Greenwood.
The minister's statement of May 31 that: "denominational schools may be created where numbers warrant and the parents choose that for their children". He then went on to state: "In light of all of that we concluded that this is not an instance in which minority rights are being adversely affected by majority rule".
I believe the Minister of Justice may have been of the view that the province of Newfoundland was about to enact something to protect minority rights and therefore the Minister of Justice gave his tacit approval. Given that there may be this kind of confusion, does the hon. member not then believe that there is a possibility that maybe the House, including the government, will come to the belief that the protection of minority rights is important?
