Mr. Speaker, when we talk to the Prime Minister about religious intransigence, he responds by telling us that the Liberals are always there to defend freedom of expression.
First off, let us be clear: There are better examples of freedom of expression than religion. When an adult imposes his religious beliefs in class on children, there is no room for freedom in any of that. Religion must remain in the private domain, not the public domain. That is the principle of state secularism and neutrality, and that is what the Liberals want to challenge in court.
Can the Liberal government agree, once and for all, not to directly or indirectly challenge Bill 21?
