Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for participating in the debate and for his speech, which is very much appreciated.
I take it that he will vote in favour of the bill. I know that some of his colleagues may be opposed to the bill. However, I will not directly mention the Conservative members who will be voting against this bill.
I learned that 52 religious groups have launched a coordinated campaign against Bill C-7.
It is called “Religious Leaders in Canada oppose Bill C-7”.
Fifty-two religious groups are opposed to the bill.
They include Canadian Assemblies of God, Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, Evangelical Free Church of Canada and Canadian Baptists of Western Canada.
There are 48 other groups that are also against it.
I just want to ask my colleague if he believes that the religious principles of some people should be set aside when it is a matter of respecting the choice of all Canadians.
