Mr. Speaker, I want to comment on the speech by the hon. member for Saskatoon-Humboldt who made a very good presentation.
First of all I want to bring to the attention of the House what this bill is really about. It says in the preamble that it is about Canadians having the right to be free from discrimination in employment and in the provision of goods and services. That is what this bill is about, nothing more and nothing less. This bill also says that the government recognizes and affirms the importance of the family as the foundation of Canadian society, that nothing in the act alters its fundamental role as a society.
Those are very important points to many Canadians. It is important that they be in the bill and it is good that they are there. But it seems to me it is not enough to simply not discriminate ourselves. We must oppose discrimination. We must protect against it. That is what this bill is supposed to do and will do. I ask the member for Saskatoon-Humboldt to comment.
