Madam Speaker, when we talk about the Office of Religious Freedom, let me make it very clear that the Government of Canada is very much a very strong advocate and understands the importance of freedom of religion, of freedom of speech, of the many different freedoms that we as Canadians assign so much value and hold so close to our hearts.
It was the Liberal Party of Canada and Pierre Elliott Trudeau who brought in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. We are a party of the charter of rights, so we do not need to be lectured by Conservatives about lacking faith in freedoms. It is the Liberal Party of Canada that understands the importance of religious freedom.
Earlier today, the Minister of Foreign Affairs said that we are committed to fighting for religious freedoms well into the future along with many other human rights.
