I'm asking that we send a letter to Senator Tkachuk, chair of the Standing Senate Committee on Transport and Communications, so that the Senate may finish its work. The Senate committee has already held nine meetings on this topic. The House concluded its study of the bill in two months, and so I'm sure the Senate will be able to study it at all stages up to third reading within the same timeframe.
I believe it is essential that we send a letter from the committee and that we send a copy to Mr. Peter Harder, the government representative in the Senate, to Mr. Larry Smith, Leader of the Opposition in the Senate, to Mr. Joseph Day, leader of the Liberals in the Senate, and to Mr. Andrew Scheer, Leader of the Official Opposition in the House. Indeed, as you know, some senators are still part of the Conservative Party and I am sure that my colleagues will exert pressure within their caucus as well.
