Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank my colleagues for their comments today.
I'd like to give a little bit of a rebuttal.
First of all, I would like to assure Mr. McKay that we will still be friends at the end of this meeting. I can guarantee that.
There is a problem here, though. We have obligations as legislators to pass the strongest legislation we possibly can and to fix legislation. To say we can't amend legislation because it will make it too tricky is abdicating our obligations as legislators.
The other thing I would put forward is that I completely agree with Mr. McKay that we should have taken more time and gotten more testimony on this. However, I did bring forward a motion to extend the study time for this particular bill by 30 days and the Conservatives and the Liberals voted against it.
