Mr. Speaker, the hon. member did a very interesting job skating through his argument about who will stand up and protect the rights of terrorists, sexual offenders and whatnot, which is interesting, because everyone is protected under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. I think the hon. member made a case about that. At the same time, an hour or so earlier, the hon. member for Peace River—Westlock got up and asked why we do not just invoke the notwithstanding clause to suspend rights under these types of provisions.
I was wondering if the hon. member could stand up and either defend the member from Peace River or explain why charter rights should be protected, even in cases like this.
