He did say in his opinion, as the chief spokesman, that this would be the consequence.</p>\n<p>This is the consequence that people have this question about, possibly a reasonable doubt. I have heard people say in this place that pedophilia is not a sexual inclination or a sexual orientation. Yet, if it is not, what is it?</p>\n<p>We could have a situation where someone who has served their time for being a pedophile, which is a crime, is out in the community. Could it be that a community would be upset that a pedophile was living there? I think we only have to read the newspapers to recognize there are communities afraid of pedophiles being in their community.
