I'd just like to say I share the same concerns that Mr. Genuis has expressed. When he said “I and others”, I include myself in the “others”, although once again, and I don't want to belabour this point, I introduced this legislation in its first version 11 years ago. Perhaps more than some realize I have invested a tremendous amount of my efforts and time and political capital to make sure that this moves forward. As we know, this place can be unpredictable at times, but we've done everything that we can to have predictability and to make sure.
This is the fourth time this legislation has come forward. In fact, in this fourth version, Mr. Genuis, as you know, I seconded you. I walked across the aisle and sat next to you in the House to show my support. Ms. Alleslev said “unequivocally”. This isn't a place where we can state anything unequivocally but, my goodness, the efforts that have gone on over 11 years to try to get us to this point, I'm confident we can bring this home. I believe that the amendments make that opportunity all the more real to make sure that this does become the law of the land in this horrific industry of trafficking human organs, and that Canada sets an international example with the legislation.
