Mr. Speaker, of course, my colleague's speech and the Liberals' central argument today is around the charter. They want to defend the charter. They want the charter to be front and centre.
The charter is not a smorgasbord where people can just pick what they want. The charter includes section 33, the notwithstanding clause. That is what enabled the repatriation of the Constitution and the implementation of the charter.
Let us try to illustrate that again to help my colleagues understand. The charter is like a book. The Liberals are not happy about one page ant they want to remove it. They want guidelines. In reality, all they want to do is attack Quebec's secularism and language model. That is the truth.
Taking a page out of the charter, which the government says it wants to defend and enforce, is not about defending the charter; it is about censorship.
I would like my colleague to explain how the charter can be defended by removing or limiting its section 33, the notwithstanding clause.
