Madam Speaker, within an hour of the Liberal-Bloc amendment to remove the defence of religious freedoms associated with the Criminal Code provisions in section 319, I received a text from a constituent saying how delighted that person was that these changes had passed so that a whole bunch of people could now be thrown in jail.
I made this comment at committee. I do not for one second think that enforcement is going to change as a result of this bill being passed. I do think there will be a whole bunch of words thrown around, a whole bunch of allegations made, and it is going to take us years to sort out the legal mess that results from people's opinions about the consequences of changing these provisions in the code.
