Mr. Speaker, listening to my hon. colleague, I am reminded of this old Jesuit proverb “Those whose thinking lacks depth make up for it with length”. We have seen a lot of that today.
What I want to ask my hon. colleague, in a very friendly way, is this. Does he not think that, beyond the statement he made in this House in praise of the justice system, there are serious flaws in the Canadian judicial system, particularly with respect to human rights?
Does my hon. colleague agree with the Prime Minister, his government and party leader, who said earlier this week that one of the differences between the Reform Party and the Liberal Party was the fact that the Liberals were in favour of recognizing same sex couples while the Reformers took a more traditional view of the family? Does he agree with recognizing same sex couples, which is basically a human rights issue?
