Madam Speaker, I take issue with the comment that the bill is contentious and divisive. This is something that was brought forward by the hon. member's friends in Ontario. They did not have a problem with it. In fact they introduced it one day and passed it the next. It did not go to committee as this bill will go to committee.
I take issue with what the hon. member is saying. We are dealing with all things that are coming before us. This is an important issue, vis-à-vis the charter, and we have to respond to it. We just cannot ignore what is coming forward.
