Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate the member opposite on his speech and his one-year anniversary as a member of Parliament.
I want to address a point related to a question that the Conservative Party has asked several times. According to the Conservatives, we were negligent for not appealing the Truchon decision by the Superior Court of Quebec and seeking the opinion of the Supreme Court of Canada.
My question for the hon. member for Jonquière is the following. When we have a well articulated, well documented, carefully analyzed ruling, is it better to act immediately to protect the vulnerable and their dignity or is it better to carry on by appealing the ruling all the way to the Supreme Court, leaving these people to wait for their rights to be protected?
