I'd just like to make a brief comment and then my colleague Mr. Batters will take over.
We've had discussions on this bill. We've had expert witnesses. They've given us a factual, passionate presentation. We all agree with what they're saying. I do not understand why we have to play political ping-pong with issues that are so important. I think it's time to move on. It's time to pass this without amendments. Any further issues can be addressed down the road.
That's all I have to say, Mr. Chair. On to Mr. Batters.
