Madam Speaker, I am trying to explain to the House why it is that I believe the Conservatives have brought forward this motion. It is hard to listen to this. I can appreciate the member for Abbotsford does not want to hear this.
However, the reality is that there are people in our LGBTQ community across this country who are subject to a horrific practice, and this Conservative Party is holding up the government, with the Bloc and the NDP, passing important legislation to keep these Canadians safe.
Conservatives continue to obstruct the passage of this bill. In fact, two members of their caucus, the member for Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan and the member for Cloverdale—Langley City recently produced a video that highlights the benefits of professional counselling to challenge gay sexual behaviour.
