Madam Speaker, today we are debating a motion to curtail debate on Bill C‑9 in its entirety. That strikes me as odd.
This is happening because the religious right wing of the Conservative Party has been filibustering the committee. They do not like that the Liberals and Bloc Québécois passed an amendment to remove the religious exemption from the Criminal Code. I must say, this is right-wing obstructionism, and I find it illogical. People cannot claim religious goodwill while allowing hatred to be propagated and spread in the name of religion.
Could my colleague elaborate on that?
