Mr. Speaker, on April 18 of this year my wife and I, along with our new daughter-in-law, will be attending a graduation ceremony for my son. This
graduation is from his training in the United States army in Fort Leonardwood, Missouri.
Unfortunately, regardless of his work in cadets and militia in this country, he was unable to fulfil his dream of being a soldier in the Canadian army simply because he is a white male. He therefore did not qualify according to the regulations brought about by this government and its employment equity quota system. As a result, this country will lose two citizens to the United States where he was able to enlist immediately.
Equality for all is obviously a meaningless term to this Liberal government. In its efforts to fight discrimination it has managed to create more. Canadians are a tolerant people but because of the ignorance of this Liberal government and its failure to hear the cries of the people, legislated discrimination will continue.
Let us all work for equality by replacing the government in power as soon as possible.
