Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her speech.
I would like to pick up on what the member for Pierre-Boucher—Les Patriotes—Verchères said in his question.
The parliamentary secretary responded that there was a a risk of violations based on what is happening in the United States, but that is precisely the crux of the issue. We are currently seeing a rise in religious influence on the government in the United States. That is why the principle of secularism involves not attacking the rights of individuals to practise their religion. The parliamentary secretary also invoked rights and freedoms. It is more a matter of remembering that there should not be any connection between church and state. What is more, Quebeckers' money is being used to challenge this fundamental principle, the consequences of which are being seen in the United States. Quebeckers' money is being used to challenge a law passed by the Quebec National Assembly.
