I hear on all sides how enthusiastic we are about just passing this bill.
The speeches are being heard in the House at this very moment and are repetitive. There really are no questions about the content. Everyone is talking about how long it has taken, for so many years, and why we haven't moved forward. Mr. McCallum is here, and I'm glad to see him here wishing that we could move this forward even faster.
I would ask both parties here today to come back to this committee the next time we're in session and tell us that we are going to have your unanimous consent—through you, Chair, of course—to move this forward to the Senate, following committee, so that we can stop these delays. We've had seven hours of speeches so far by the NDP, with the same thing over and over again, and some days the Liberals put some up and some days they don't.
Minister, I'm really hopeful that we will see a vote of confidence on the other side of this room and that they will come back to committee next time and say we have unanimous consent to proceed.
