Mr. Speaker, the government has the responsibility to govern. However the key element under Parliament is that there be a transparency to ensure that human rights are not abused. These are rights which over the years we have established in Canada through Canadian Parliament and for which people have fought. One of those rights was the right of women to vote. However I am not saying these rights will be abused.
Over the years we have reached a level where we have some of the best human rights legislation in the world and we must ensure that none of these will be taken away through a unilateral act by the government. Therefore it is the responsibility of us and the committee to ensure that that does not happen. Nevertheless they still have to have some room so they are able to manoeuvre and govern and rise to the occasion.
