Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Sherbrooke for his question and flattering remarks.
There is no question that members of the Canadian Armed Forces should have the same rights as everyone else. I cannot disagree with that. I am also surprised to see how many people think that those serving Canada in the forces do so in conflict zones abroad. Actually, they also carry out many peace and humanitarian missions. I commend them for that.
Clearly, there is no question that their rights should be at least as good as the rights of every other Canadian.
