Navdeep Bains speaks in the House on the Quebec kirpan issue - Jan. 31, 2011 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBZM23OsjuE#)
From: MapleLeafSikh.com
"Mr. Speaker, since my election in 2004, I wear my kirpan in the House of Commons. In 2006, the Supreme Court upheld the right of Sikhs to wear the kirpan.
I visited other parliaments, the Supreme Court of Canada and the U.S. Congress. I always wore my kirpan and it has never been a problem.
Let us be reasonable and respectful discussion, avoiding rhetoric that tries to divide Canadians.
In my work I have always promoted respect and understanding. It was Canada where I grew up and I want to bequeath to my two daughters.
Let's be reasonable and fair. In short, let us be Canadians. Respect our Charter of Rights and Freedoms."
