It is about shutting down debate to force through a controversial amendment and, which the member knows, to remove the religious defence in the Criminal Code. It is an amendment that was not in the original bill.</p>",

Elle vise plut\u00f4t \u00e0 mettre fin au d\u00e9bat pour forcer l'adoption d'un amendement controvers\u00e9 et, comme le sait le d\u00e9put\u00e9, pour supprimer la d\u00e9fense pour des motifs religieux pr\u00e9vue par le Code criminel. Il s'agit d'un amendement qui ne figurait pas dans le projet de loi initial.</p>"
