Madam Speaker, I am pleased to rise today to present a petition from people from across Canada who want to draw to the attention of the House concerns around Bill C-9. They are concerned that pieces of the Bible could be criminalized, and they are insistent that the state has no place in recognizing or refusing religious texts.
The petitioners are concerned that freedom of expression and freedom of religion are under attack, and they call on the Liberal government to protect freedom of religion and uphold the right to read, share and promote religious texts.
