I rise in support of a Canada in which liberties are safeguarded, rights are protected and the people of this land are treated as equals under the law.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I rise today in support of Bill C-38, the Civil Marriage Act. I rise in support of a Canada in which liberties are safeguarded, rights are protected and the people of this land are treated as equals under the law.
I urge calm and sensitivity to the fundamental civil liberties of our country.
One of the functions of government is to act as a safeguard not just of property but of our liberties.
You can only protect your liberties in this world by protecting the other man's freedom.
I wish the government and the Minister of Justice would address these legal and constitutional arguments, but they refuse to. They want Canadians to go blindly into their brave new world, but it is not wise for a society to move blindly in any direction.
I know that I have the right freely to speak and publish my sentiments, subject only to the laws of the land for the abuse of that right.
I do protect human rights, and I hope I shall always be looked up as a champion of human rights.
There are hard choices to be made in balancing the country's security and an individual's liberties. But it is a choice that has to be faced.
Canada is the homeland of equality, justice and tolerance.
I have supported civil rights activity in my state. I have done my job with integrity, equality, and fairness for all.
