Mr. Speaker, it would be hard to overstate how disappointed people would feel if they heard what is being said here.
Quebec has already had this debate. The National Assembly unanimously adopted a motion to remove the religious exemption from the Criminal Code. Seventy-five per cent of Quebeckers support the Bloc Québécois's proposal to remove the religious exemption from the Criminal Code. People would be disheartened to see what is going on.
Does my colleague agree that it is outrageous for the committee not to be sitting today, or for us not to be able to work on this issue to get this bill passed?
Once and for all, we have to realize the importance and reasonableness of removing this exemption.
