Mr. Speaker, when the Minister of Justice was asked this morning about the federal government's attack on Bill 21 and the notwithstanding clause, he once again got off track. He defended his crusade by saying that democracy is under strain around the world, and he used the war in Ukraine as an example.
In his view, Quebec's use of the notwithstanding clause to protect state secularism is as dangerous for democracy as Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Come on. Will he immediately withdraw this flawed and offensive analogy?
