Mr. Speaker, I certainly do share that concern. There is no doubt in my mind that this is not the end of a situation, that this will create the beginning of many situations we suspect could happen.
I only need to go back to 1994 when the government first brought in sexual orientation to be included in the charter. I believe the member was here when we had that debate. Time and time again we asked if we accepted the inclusion of sexual orientation into the list in regard to rights and protections and so on, would that be the end of it or would it be extended and brought on and on for other issues? Would it lead to even marriage? We were assured time and time again in the justice committee that it would never happen, that this would be the end of it.
I believe the passing of this bill is the beginning of something that we definitely do not want to see happen. It could lead to great tragedies, I fear, and I want to stop it before it happens.
