Mr. Speaker, I had the chance to be in the member's beautiful province speaking about Bill C-9 with people from across Manitoba. One thing that was so clear there is that these are people who are very motivated by their faith, their religious traditions and their religious beliefs. They understand their faith to be, in totality, about a message of love. Their concern is not that they want a license to preach hate, but that they do not trust the government and other bad actors in society to weaponize this definition or the powers of Bill C-9 against them and their beliefs.
My colleague has spoken to his constituents about this. I wonder if he could share the positive role that faith and faith institutions play, as well as what would be in jeopardy if we were to take aim at religious freedom like this.
