Mr. Speaker, it is one or the other, and the Prime Minister is going to have to make up his mind. Either he acknowledges that religion plays a role and directly influences how his government and the Liberal Party manage government affairs, or he stops challenging Bill 21, which sets out rules for the secular nature of Quebec's state institutions. The Prime Minister cannot say and defend one thing and its opposite. He will have to take a stand and provide an answer.
Can he tell us, yes or no, whether he truly agrees with the principle of the separation of church and state?
