Mr. Speaker, I have to say that I also regularly speak to the member for Foothills' constituents because my sister lives in his riding. I know for my family one thing that is really important in Canada is the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. What the Conservatives are asking for is the right to violate the charter. I know the Leader of the Opposition has talked about using the notwithstanding clause to get rid of any laws he does not like.
I would like to hear from the member how he views the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and whether he would uphold it.
