Madam Speaker, the member commented a number of times with regard to the issue of protecting religious rights. I would refer him to clause 60 in the Supreme Court decision on the reference. It states:
Absent unique circumstances with respect to which the Court will not speculate, the guarantee of religious freedom in s. 2(a) of the Charter is broad enough--
As well, he may know that the Prime Minister has also publicly indicated that he would invoke the notwithstanding clause should the courts decide that religious freedoms were to be overridden. Does the member agree that those two citations would tend to indicate that this is going to be an issue at one time or another before the courts, and whether he believes there is a way that this House can fully guarantee religious rights?
