Madam Speaker, it would seem that outside influences have pressured this minister for one reason or another. I am only speculating. Everything the Liberals have done is a matter of vote buying. What concerns me is the way the government, including the Prime Minister at that time, voted to keep the institution of marriage in 1999. Now in 2005 they are saying that the right of religious freedom will be preserved and that charitable tax status will be preserved.
What is to say that the government of tomorrow, if it is Liberal, will not flip-flop on these same things that it is saying today just to get through another day without having an election? The only reason we are going through this right now is because the Liberals are too afraid to have this on the ballot when an election is called.
