Thank you.
Of course, it is a big issue around this table too. Everyone is passionate about the bill and about passing Mr. Ayoub's motion as well. I'm putting that right back at you, Mr. Ayoub. Your motion was wonderful. We supported it wholeheartedly.
To continue on that bill, Minister, there is a little hiccup here right now. I am finding it very difficult to get it through the House before Christmas. I wanted to get a vote before Christmas so it can get to the Senate and then get to the CRA before their deadline to ensure it gets on the form in 2019.
Right now it looks as though it may not get on there until 2020, which to me is an extra year of people dying when they shouldn't be.
I tried to get the bill to collapse yesterday. It didn't happen because your party, I'm sorry to say, wanted to continue the debate, so it went into a second hour of third reading. I tried unanimous consent. I talked to the government House leaders; your government is not willing to have unanimous consent.
If you could please talk to your House leader, to your party, to try to get unanimous consent on this bill so there can be a vote next week, I would appreciate it very much.
