Mr. Speaker, I moved here some 30 years ago from the United States. I have witnessed some terrible cases of intolerance and discrimination south of the border. When we moved to Canada one of the first things my wife and I noticed was the huge difference, and what a pleasure it was. I have found over the last 30 years that Canada is indeed a very tolerant society.
Does the member not agree that this kind of legislation questions the judgment of our society? By putting out this kind of legislation are we saying that we cannot trust Canadians as people to be non-discriminatory, that we will legislate it so they must be?
I believe Canadians are a tolerable group and that the House should have trust in the people of Canada. I would like a comment from the hon. member.
