Discussion · PRIVATE MEMBERS' BUSINESS
Kelly Block Conservative
“I want the House to pass my bill. It makes changes to the law that religious groups support, and other bills did not include these changes.”
“Mr. Speaker, as I mentioned in my speech, my private member’s bill was already being drafted when Bill C-9 was first introduced. Without repeating everything I said in my remarks or going through a chronology of the changes that occurred to Bill C-9, I would respectfully submit to the member that Bill C-255 proposes a change to the Criminal Code that was not contemplated in Bill C-9 and does not currently exist. My objective is simply to put forward that the changes proposed in Bill C-255 are important amendments to the Criminal Code that would provide clarity and are supported by faith communities across the country, and I believe this bill should be adopted.”
