Your point well taken by me. I just could not get any actual numbers on the voting. I suppose one would have to go to Hansard for that. In any case a "condemnation" seems to be superfluous to me. I just wonder about the "hate crimes" brigade.
There is this. A comment made in the comment section of the article by billybob , November 5, 2016 at 3:33 pm ,
According to the record in Hansard, the official record of proceedings in the House of Parliament, immediately after the motion brought by the Hon. Thomas Mulcair (Outremont, NDP) that the House join the 69,742 Canadian supporters of House of Commons e-petition (e-411) in condemning all forms of Islamophobia, that the Hon. Candice Bergen (Portage—Lisgar, CPC) brought forth the following motion…
Mr. Speaker, in light of the motion that was just adopted by the House, and given that tomorrow is International Religious Freedom Day, I would like to seek the unanimous consent of the House for the following motion. I move:
That, this House condemns all forms of persecution against all religious groups including Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs and Muslims.
The Speaker:
Does the hon. member have the unanimous consent of the House to move the motion?
Some hon. members: Agreed.
The Speaker: The House has heard the terms of the motion. Is it the pleasure of the House to adopt the motion?
Some hon. members: Agreed.
(Motion agreed to)
Candice Bergen is the Conservative House leader. This happened on Oct.26th. Mulcair made his motion at 3:10 pm ,Bergin made hers at 3:15 pm.
