Mr. Speaker, we know our opponents have lost confidence in their own argument when they resort to attacks based on the trustworthiness of their opponent in a debate.
If the member was actually listening to my responses to previous questions, he would know I said he should not trust any present or future or past government and that he should do an independent assessment of what the laws actually say.
We have been listening to those communities of faith. We have engaged with them and told them we are willing to actually make amendments to reflect the concerns they have, the precise amendments that the Conservatives were contemplating and thinking of putting forward. Upon realizing we were going to say yes, to agree to the amendments that we both heard from the same communities of faith, the Conservatives picked up their filibuster and demonstrated they are not interested in collaborating. They are not interested in allowing the bill to proceed, which is why we are here to advance the debate, so we can actually offer protections to the communities of faith that have justified our including this important law in our campaign platform during the last federal election. Canadians, including Canadian communities of faith, support it.
