Cathay Wagantall Conservative
“Religious groups across the country support this bill because it protects freedom. An atheist told me the same thing. I want the member to comment on that.”
“Mr. Speaker, I appreciated that my colleague talked about the various faiths right across the country that are supportive of this. When we had the opportunity to speak at a committee, and I did, I said that everyone has faith; it is just a matter of where they put that faith. An individual who is an atheist contacted me and said “Cathay, thank you so much, because what this is about is freedom.” I would like the member to comment on that.”
