Madam Speaker, I always take great joy when the hon. member is speaking in this chamber. Some days bring more joy than others. I know I am going to have a bad day when I hear someone on an airplane thanking me for my patience. It usually means I am either having a bad day or I am about to have a bad day, and it is a phrase that unfortunately all of us in this chamber, who are all frequent travellers, hear all too frequently. I noticed that part of this bill is to authorize the Governor in Council on service standards. Could the hon. member opine on some of the service standards that are not being met on an all-too-frequent basis for those of us who travel on airplanes fairly frequently?

Madam Speaker, I thank the member for an excellent question that centres on the issue of practice standards. I have no doubt that, particularly where I live in the east part of Toronto, we have the highest-quality practice standards. However, there can be the highest standards and most qualified people in the nation, but if they are overwhelmed by virtue of people being in the system because of the circumstances in which they live, no amount of practice standards will get them out of that. My focus would be on relieving the suffering by helping those people so that they do not find themselves contemplating this alternative.
