Senator Gold: Let me ask senators whether they support the following directive — I’m answering the God — the question. Well, I used a religious term, “God,” and I hope I did not offend those who do not believe.
The directive says that:
. . . chaplains must “endeavour to ensure that all feel included and able to participate in the reflection . . . no matter their beliefs . . . .”
I would be astounded if anyone here objected to that respectful and inclusive directive, given the diversity in this country that we all celebrate.
