Now they are chirping away, saying that we did not do anything. The truth is, we are appealing that decision. The Supreme Court of Canada and the system of justice in this country were put in place to allow anyone to appeal a decision with which they do not agree.
The government has taken the stand to appeal it. Would it be more effective to have an act of parliament revoke the notwithstanding clause, or invoke the notwithstanding clause, to say that it does not agree with the court decision? Or, would it be more effective to actually have the supreme court analyse the decision and take a look at what possible rational a judge sitting on a bench in British Columbia could have, a part of this country that I dare say members opposite should know better than?
What possible justification could a justice have? We would presume that the individual has knowledge of the law. We would presume that the individual has integrity. We would presume that the individual looked at the case carefully, but he came down with a decision that said it was okay to own child pornography. I do not know a Canadian citizen that agrees with that decision.
