Madam Speaker, my colleague and I attended certain committee meetings dealing with this study. I will ask my colleague the same question I asked my NDP colleague a bit earlier.
We really saw that certain witnesses had religious motivations. Their faith was the reason they had come to talk about the issue of women's reproductive rights. Why did members of my colleague's party, the Liberal Party, oppose the motion that the Bloc Québécois tried to move yesterday to basically repeal this religious exemption? This motion sought to take one more essential step toward secularism, because, all too often, the relationship between religion and women's rights becomes muddled, and women's rights are violated in the name of religion.
Why did her party oppose yesterday's motion underlining the importance of removing religious exemptions from the Criminal Code and emphasizing the importance of state secularism?
