Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for his excellent question, which is a fundamental one in a state governed by the rule of law.
We cannot retroactively endorse acts that were previously illegal. That is fundamental. We cannot play with people's lives and what they do.
Who is to say that this will not create a precedent and that a lawful act committed freely and knowingly one day could not be made unlawful the next?
We cannot play with such fundamental aspects of life in society simply because it suits us. These are dangerous precedents and I completely agree with my colleague on that.
