Mr. Speaker, with respect to Mr. Paine's statement that every generation has a right to decide, we cannot take that too far. I chair the committee on aging and we are looking at how the population is changing. One of the things that was noted was the potential for intergenerational conflicts, that current generations might want to do things dramatically differently which would have an impact on others. While we have to be sensitive to that, we cannot let it run our lives totally.
I want to go back to the point I made, which is that with the amendments that have been proposed we could respond to the rights of those minorities in a very sensible way. That is what I would ask my colleagues to look at. If members look deep down in their hearts and souls they do not want to remove the constitutionally acquired rights of minorities without their consent. Members have an opportunity to do it with their consent. I would ask all members to please concentrate on that.
