Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Yes, under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, we give the individual the freedom of religion. Therefore, we are certainly not going to force the individual to practice other than what they believe. I do not see this as a reason for them to be penalized in any such way because they do have their own personal religion and convictions. I believe we shall respect that. Thank you.
