00:00:00.000 The idea of the coronation oath was that it would never be in conflict with the advice,
00:00:04.040 and therefore it is the responsibility of ministers of the crown to see that whatever
00:00:09.360 advice they give is consistent with the proper construction of the coronation oath.
00:00:14.860 When I'm talking to a member of parliament, an MLA, who has the power to give royal assent,
00:00:21.780 or I'm sorry, to vote for bills, they need to know the duty lies on them not to advise the
00:00:28.660 king to break their oath. That's their duty. And that duty overrides party politics or any
00:00:36.740 partisan influences that they may get or have. And I really want to emphasize this. If you're
00:00:43.180 talking MPs, MLAs, government officials, everything is secondary. Everything is secondary
00:00:51.820 to their oath of office and oath of allegiance, especially the oath of allegiance to the king,
00:00:57.300 and they cannot advise the king to break the oath
00:01:00.640 any more than they can tell the king to break the charter, for example.
00:01:05.720 And that oath is required by our Constitution in Section 127
00:01:09.920 of then the B&A Act.
00:01:13.200 And it says every member of the Senate and House of Commons
00:01:16.060 has to take the oath set out in the schedule
00:01:18.800 of the Constitution, of the B&A Act at that time.
00:01:22.940 They have to take it as part of the Constitution
00:01:24.980 and you cannot constitutionally sit unless you take this oath. I want all MPs to know,
00:01:30.880 do you know what this oath means when you take it? Tell me. I'm talking to you as my MP. You tell me
00:01:37.280 what that oath means that you took and what duties it imparts upon you. I want you to tell me.
00:01:42.740 And if you can't, then you swore out a false oath and you shouldn't be sitting.
00:01:49.420 And that's where the oath is. It's a lot shorter than what it used to be back in the 30s,
00:01:53.660 but the emphasis is the same
00:01:55.780 fidelity
00:01:57.600 loyalty to the king
00:01:59.180 to expose treasonous
00:02:01.800 traitorous corruptions to the king
00:02:03.620 so he's aware of them
00:02:04.540 I submit to you 0.99
00:02:06.560 all the immigrants coming into Canada right now 1.00
00:02:09.900 who do not believe in God from third world 1.00
00:02:11.820 countries that are being 1.00
00:02:13.760 allowed in our country
00:02:14.600 somebody
00:02:15.880 in government has an oath and a duty
00:02:19.500 to tell the king what you're doing is wrong
00:02:23.660 You
