Thank you.
As you have testified, Mr. Hyer, Bill C-311 is identical to Bill C-377, which was reviewed by this committee, amended, and passed on the House, and in fact passed by the House of Commons in June 2008. In this committee's review of the precursor bill to your bill, during the clause-by-clause review amendments were made, and that amended bill was referred to Parliament. That bill in fact was passed by the House of Commons and then referred to the Senate. The bill unfortunately died because Mr. Harper called an election.
Would you agree that the next logical step would have been, and would be, to expedite the processing of Bill C-311 back to the House of Commons so that it can get to the Senate, get passed, and become law?
