Mr. Speaker, part of the reason we are repealing this bill is that we believe that there was a huge issue around the process.
The bill was highly discriminatory and deeply ideological. For it to go through a normal process, it has to be open, transparent, and consultative. The process of a private member's bill did not allow for the intensity of dialogue in consultation with the broad array of stakeholders, as if we went through a normal process.
That is why we are repealing both Bill C-377 and Bill C-525.
