Mr. Speaker, that member should ask the member for Elgin—St. Thomas—London South if he thinks the same thing. The member for York Centre was basically saying that this bill does not go far enough. If we look at his private member's bill, we can see why. He is calling for even tougher penalties and restrictions in there. Then we have the member for Elgin—St. Thomas—London South calling this bill a censorship bill. That is the problem.
The parliamentary secretary said it earlier. She said there is a divide, and there really is a divide. It is maybe not among the members who happen to be sitting in this room right now, but there is a divide within that party on this issue. It is the only thing that explains why Conservatives refuse to let this go to clause by clause and to play out like every other bill does. It is the only thing that explains it.
To conclude, the member for Bowmanville—Oshawa North made a comment earlier about my faith. He made a comment about Liberals writ large. He made a comment about the Liberals' approach to religious freedom and those who practice that freedom. That member knows nothing about me. That member does not know where I was baptized, and he does not know what school I attended. He knows nothing about where I was married or the advice that I seek from time to time from my pastor. He knows nothing about that. He knows nothing about the school that my children go to and the religious teachings they receive there.
Do members know why he knows nothing about that? It is because it is my choice. It is my faith. I keep my faith to myself, because it guides me personally. I do not bring it in here and weaponize it like Conservatives do and like that member does when he does his “Restore the North” tour, going around the country, trying to stoke fear and division amongst community members because he knows he will be successful at it and he can continue to grow that alt-right base that we see on the other side of the aisle. That is the reality.
I have no interest in coming into this place and divulging to everybody here what my religious beliefs are or how I practice faith, because our system is designed to specifically not allow that to be part of the debate in here, regardless of the fact that the Conservatives routinely try to bring it up.
