It's new in Canada, and I'm greatly comforted by Mr. Fontana's assurances that there is no preconceived notion, no preconceived plan, you are all open-minded on the subject and are ready for a debate. I have, as my experience as an advocate compels me sometimes to do, put forth what I hope will be a convincing position against the adoption of a national identity card.
J'ai, comme mon expérience d'avocat m'oblige parfois à le faire, élaboré ce qui, je l'espère, est un plaidoyer convaincant contre l'adoption d'une carte d'identité nationale.
