Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for her work and support on this, and for all the work she has done for children in Canada over the years.
This is all about protecting children. We heard from several children who went through the so-called reunification therapies. Some of them were sent across the border to the United States and given therapy inside a woman's apartment. They were told that they did not really witness the things they witnessed, that they were remembering wrong and that they had to give their father a chance. They were forced to kiss their father, look their father in the eye and say they loved them. There were so many things that violate the rules that we have in Canada about rights for people and the agency that children have. We cannot force them into these therapies.
I think reunification therapy is fine as long as all parties are in agreement and fully cognizant of what they are agreeing to.
