Mr. Speaker, the last group of petitions I have contains 203 signatures from Canadians from coast to coast. They want to add parental rights, responsibilities and liberties to the charter of rights and freedoms. They call on government to amend section 7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms to recognize the fundamental right of individuals to pursue family life free from undue interference of the state. Again, I will not go through the whole petition because time does not permit me to do so.
In the House of Commons on December 16th, 1999. See this statement in context.
