David Bexte Conservative
“I oppose this bill. This is a final decision, and we cannot risk making a mistake if someone changes their mind at the last moment and cannot tell us.”
“Mr. Speaker, it is quite simple. I would like to thank the member across the way for the question, because it is important. This issue is a matter of conscience, and we all have different perspectives on it, which is quite evident, but it comes down to the point that I made earlier that this is a final decision. If we get it wrong and we cannot communicate properly and evidence the refusal at the last moment, we cannot risk making a mistake in this case.”
