Mr. Speaker, if the concern my friend has is not for constitutionality but for consistency, then perhaps he can begin by explaining how it is that his colleague at this end of the bench asked me 10 minutes ago how could I dare countenance the payment of money to a claimant in an action against the crown and now he seems to be suggesting that instead of passing Bill C-28 we should be paying out money to the claimants in relation to constitutionality.
In the House of Commons on June 17th, 1996. See this statement in context.
