Mr. Speaker, I would be pleased to answer my colleague's questions.
The first question had to do with whether feminism exists only among women. My father was the greatest feminist I know. He taught me to believe in myself. He taught me that women could be equal to men in intelligence and in their ability to do anything they choose. That is really what feminism is about. It is about instilling in women the belief that they are equal and that they are capable.
Second, the hon. member asked me if I knew of any churches that were in agreement with the content and the intent of this bill. I have heard from many members of the United Church and many leaders of the United Church who feel that this is an important human rights bill which has been brought forward by this government.
