(1335) In both examples, adoption and education, I believe members can see
that at a time when more social cohesiveness is needed, Bill C-38 will be taking us in exactly the wrong direction, by weakening these tradit
ional practices and institutions. To conclude, at a time when the world sees in Canada an example of a caring, tolerant
, and compassionate society, and when ...[+++] one reflects on the legacy of institutional strength that generations of Canadians have fought and laboured to build and preserve, on balance, Bill C-38 is just not good enough, either in substance or in the process we have followed in developing it.
Enfin, à une époque où le monde cite le Canada comme exemple de société aidante, tolérante et compatissante, et lorsque l'on songe à l'héritage de la vigueur de ses institutions pour lesquelles des générations de Canadiens ont lutté et travaillé, tout compte fait, le projet de loi C-38 est tout simplement insuffisant quant au fond ou au processus qui a mené à sa rédaction.
