Replying to Bienvenu-Olivier Ntumba (Liberal)

“Madam Speaker, I would like to add to that because I do not believe that anyone is opposed to peace, which is the opposite of hatred. This bill will help us build a new Canada that is fundamentally committed to promoting peace. Could my colleague offer his comments and explain why the opposition continues to fight this bill?”
