Mr. Speaker, I regret that I did not notice you giving me a signal earlier that my time was almost up. I apologize.
I appreciate the member opposite is citing one of his constituents. Let me respond with an appropriate response from my community. This is from a constituent.
While I agree that terrorism and radicalization are a real and legitimate concern, I do not belief that passing a bill that could be twisted to potentially encroach on the very freedoms we are trying to protect is the answer. Canada has shown again and again that we are adept at dealing with terrorism with the tools we currently have. This bill is a step in a direction that seems counter to the Canadian values that I hold dear. A step towards a society that values security over freedom, while in reality providing neither.
I have been extremely disappointed by the CPC and LPC the last several years.
And also:
I have not been a supporter of the NDP in the past, but please know that you have won a voter in the next election.
