Mr. Speaker, I am not in a position of course to commit to exactly when or to the support of the exact wording of the hon. member's bill. I have not seen it.
I can reiterate the commitment of the Minister of Justice to her colleagues from the provinces and territories and through me to the House tonight that these will be put forward in an expedited way.
We are adjourning this week for the winter break, but soon after our resumption in the new year these matters will be put forward. I will undertake personally to discuss with the hon. member for Burnaby--Douglas when we return the exact timing of this so that we can make sure that he is consulted on both the timing and the wording.
