Madam Speaker, it is always a pleasure to rise on behalf of the people of Kamloops—Thompson—Nicola. The moment we stop discussing and stop debating and that this place is not where we have difficult conversations is the moment that we might as well pack it in.
To listen to the member, one would think it was offensive that Conservatives and Canadians even question this. I invite him to my riding, and I would actually like him to address this and meet with faith-based leaders to talk about these things. I have met with faith leaders, as have so many of my colleagues.
Will the member take me up on that? If he says nobody is opposed, he should come to my riding and talk about it, so he can hear the real-world fear that people have about this bill. Will he do it, yes or no? I will even pay his way.
