Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the comments of the member for Louis‑Saint‑Laurent. I want to note two things. First, my colleague is absolutely right when he says that we must avoid partisanship when we are dealing with such a sensitive subject and where the consequences are so serious for Canadians. I might add that he and his colleagues sat on the special joint committee both the first and second time. So we have already had the opportunity to hear the Conservatives' views on the matter. We have reflected on those comments and indeed we introduced a bill that reflects the will of their caucus. I believe that we need to move forward with that expressed will and promote the adoption of this bill today in the House.
