Madam Speaker, I hate to be the bearer of bad news to the parliamentary secretary. Early in her intervention, she indicated that she had confidence that every member of the Conservative Party of Canada would support the swift passage of Bill C-9. While that may be true in principle, we do not support the method by which they wish Bill C-9 to move through the process. We do not support their ability to censor debate, and it is rather ironic that the member speaks about censoring debate on a censorship bill.
I am also aware that there are some deep divisions within the Liberal Party itself. Is there an expectation that the party will whip the vote, or will the party allow a free vote for those members who voice their displeasure with removing this religious defence?
