Mr. Chair, I want to thank the NDP for having supported this initiative by one of my colleagues from the province of Nova Scotia and the island of Cape Breton. Mark Eyking, who is a Liberal member of Parliament, has been a champion for this change for some time, and I want to thank the NDP and ultimately the Conservatives for having come on board and supporting it.
It's good when we can agree on some level of progressive social policy from time to time in this place, so I want to thank both the NDP and the Conservatives for their support on this.
