Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the hon. member standing to read his opinion on the issue but I would like to ask him how he feels about his party, particularly the cabinet ministers on his side, not being allowed to have a free vote on such a contentious issue.
In my opinion, the religious freedoms of the cabinet ministers themselves are being jeopardized by the member's own party that attests to protect religious freedom.
I suggest to the hon. member that when I consider things like his government changing the law with respect to high rent properties for Liberal senators in order to protect them and how it changed the law so that the GST, for example, can be charged in transporting our children, that really lacks credibility.
Does the hon. member actually believe that religious freedoms will be protected by a government that has no credibility?
