Thank you.
Thank you for your question. I'll start with the response and then go into some of our other initiatives to move forward on consumer product safety.
As the member is well aware, the health and safety of Canadians is the priority of our government. I know the member is well aware that the global economic situation has been an issue for us. Under the guidance of our government, we've been a leader in dealing with the economic recovery, and the economic recovery of our country has been a priority.
I was pleased that the bill received all-party support in the House the last time it was introduced, and I hope members will continue to support the speedy passage of this legislation; it's been a long time.
And I recognize all that you've outlined. In my view, we missed an opportunity last year before prorogation to have this bill passed in the Senate. Again I introduce it, and I'm seeking your support to move it quickly in order to protect the health and safety of Canadians.
Thank you.
