Yes. I was the beneficiary of it. For those people on the other side of the chamber to lecture people on this side of the chamber about human rights, when they didn't even fill the office—it was their job to fill it when they were in government—shows the blatant hypocrisy and grandstanding that they engage in.
You know that this issue is important to so many people in this parliament. You know that this is an issue that touches all of us because it is one of those cases of 'there but for the grace of God go I'. Slavery is a curse and breeds in darkness—let there be light.
