You are absolutely right and you are well briefed.
We can look at European countries and countries around the world, including Japan, South Korea, South Africa and France. The list goes on and on. There are 65 countries and 18 regions. “Regions” means places like Scotland and Wales. These countries have a similar background of common law, defence of human rights and concern about child development. Almost all of those countries have moved in that direction since the Supreme Court split decision that has caused so much confusion, which the Conservatives have so clearly demonstrated at this committee hearing.
It is time to move forward on repealing section 43 for the issues around truth and reconciliation and child development, and to heed the call of 700 important organizations across the country that have all said with one voice that it's time to repeal section 43.
