MR MOORE: That is why I am ignoring it. It seems to me that what we now have is a very sensible approach and a very tolerant approach. We already have a society that is much more tolerant than that of previous generations. I hope that we will continue to increase our tolerance of people who have different ideas from ours and who operate in different ways, even when we disagree with them. Madam Speaker, I thank members for their support on this Bill and look forward to its passage.
