Mr. Speaker, I know that my colleague is a serious member, so I am confident that he will respond with his usual seriousness.
I am wondering whether he truly believes, as some of his colleagues are suggesting, that under this legislation, people will no longer be allowed to quote specific passages from the Bible. Does he think it is the role of a legislator to spread misinformation, in the hope of creating discontent and, ultimately, causing people to lose confidence in the political system? I would like to hear his comments on that.
Could some of the remarks made by his colleagues in committee and over the course of the day, suggesting that this bill would prevent people from quoting from the Bible, not have unintended consequences?
