Mr. Speaker, I am amazed that the NDP members seem to oppose for the sake of opposing.
There is a recognition that there are positive items in this bill. It is an opt-in situation. However, the NDP members oppose it. They oppose matrimonial rights, and if they had their druthers, they would deny rights to aboriginal women that every other woman in the country has. They always fall on the issue of process.
However, is not right right? Sometimes are things not just self-evident and we can move forward, such as having equal rights among all Canadians?
