Madam Speaker, I would like to come back to one specific aspect of my colleague's speech. In the Senate amendments, there is a change to clause 84, which deals with imposing greater diversity. I understand that, in post-1982 Canada, there is a desire to promote diversity. However, diversity is promoted differently in Quebec than it is in Canada, plus Canada is now a so-called postnational state. I get the impression that this is also reflected in the bill with the Senate amendments that aim to shift diversity from being encouraged and desirable to being imposed and mandatory. I would like to know what my colleague thinks about this shift, which could be described as ideological in a regime where the noose keeps tightening, despite the consequences it may cause.
