Mr. Speaker, in the third petition the good people of Dauphin request the government to support Motion No. M-300 which states that the government should authorize a proclamation to be issued by the governor general under the great seal of Canada amending section 7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms to recognize the fundamental rights of individuals to pursue family life free from undue interference by the state and to recognize the fundamental rights and responsibilities of parents to direct the upbringing of their children. The petitioners urge the legislative assemblies of the provinces to do likewise.
In the House of Commons on April 13th, 1999. See this statement in context.
