Mr. Speaker, it is a delight to be able to respond to the hon. member.
I understand that the hon. member in her other life is a well trained and very competent professional and knows fully the significance of defining words precisely and very accurately. I know that very well.
I also know that what she just referred to as morality was not what I said at all. I read rather clearly about the values that have been found in literature, in philosophy and the various issues. When she asked whose morality, I did not address that particular question. I said these are some of the things we need to do, and that is a very significant issue.
The other point about judges having no input into our society and how the law is interpreted and that there may be some errors in the law, they might be better writing the law, that is not the question here today. I encourage people to do exactly that.
The issue here is a decision of an appeal court. That is not a question of saying the law could be improved. That is not what that is. That is a decision saying that the law from this point forward shall be stated thus. That is different from saying legislators should look at this and see whether it might not be better to rewrite the law. I think that becomes the issue here.
I am afraid that she misread what I was trying to say rather badly.
