Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague across the way for his impassioned speech.
Faith is something important, there is no doubt about it. However, we believe that it is something personal. It is important not to confuse the way people like the Uighurs and Rohingyas are treated with what we are proposing here, which is that the prayer no longer be recited in the House because, simply put, it offends non-believers and those who believe in another god or in another religion.
Can my colleague across the way even admit that a moment of reflection is sufficient to replace the prayer?
