Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech as well as for pointing out that facts are facts. Speaking of facts, although the Conservatives are saying that this bill is important and that we must move forward, all we see is obstruction. On one side, we have the Bloc Québécois; everyone knows them. On the other side, we have the “block everything party”, which is the Conservative Party. The Conservatives filibustered in committee and are now forcing us into a pointless debate. In fact, technically, we are debating the title. That is what the Conservatives are making us do today. We are wasting our time debating the title, even though they are saying this bill is important. I do not understand the position of the Conservative Party, which is stepping on the gas and slamming on the brakes at the same time.

Madam Speaker, we are debating a matter of life-saving importance. It is a public safety matter. For better or for worse, the issue is complex and emotionally charged. My colleague talked about the process and the fact that so-called alternative facts may have been spread over social media by certain members of one political party. Three parties came to the House with a reasonable proposal that would move us forward and improve public safety. However, one party is filibustering and using this opportunity to raise funds. The longer the debate drags on, the more donations the official opposition, the Conservative Party, stands to gain. With a majority consensus emerging in the House, should we not try to speed up the process and deny the Conservatives the chance to raise even more funds ahead of the next election?
