Mr. Speaker, we are two days away from the coronation of Charles III and the Liberal convention, and Liberal MPs are starting to be heard. They are telling us that the oath to the King is outdated and it is time to make it optional. Members of the House should be loyal only to the public. There should not be two loyalties: one to the Crown and one to the citizens. There should be only one loyalty, and that is to the people. People no longer want oaths to the King, nor God Save the King. The time has come for change. This is a good opportunity. Why not finally cut ties with the British monarchy once and for all?
