Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague from Pictou—Antigonish—Guysborough for his speech. I know that he was a distinguished lawyer before coming to the House of Commons, and I want to ask him a question regarding constitutional law.
In his opinion, could certain provisions of the bill or the bill itself as a whole be challenged under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms?
I have a feeling that several provisions of the bill could indeed be challenged. As he explained so well and as a number of my colleagues have also pointed out, this bill violates the freedom of Canadians and Quebeckers. I wonder if the member could take a few minutes to share with us his vision of this bill with regard to a possible violation of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
