Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for his kind sentiments. The Prime Minister has sincerely attempted to find a way to allow the House to address this issue. I also believe that when the vote is called it is my hope yet at this time that we will have a free vote. I am putting out my comments this afternoon so that he may yet hear it one more time before we come to that time.
In the House of Commons on April 30th, 1996. See this statement in context.
