All right. Thank you, Minister.
I'm sorry. I don't mean to cut you off. I have only a minute here.
I do want to bring up another topic that I am deeply passionate about. Last year one of my colleagues, MP for Edmonton Manning, Mr. Ziad Aboultaif, brought forward a legislative proposal for a national organ and tissue donation registry. The concept was well received by many Canadians, but his efforts were voted down by the Liberal government. That vote did see a few Liberals, including our chair—thank you, Mr. Chair—voting in favour, but it was defeated.
Of those who opposed this life-saving idea, were you, Minister, and also MP Judy Sgro, the member for Humber River—Black Creek. Imagine my surprise, Minister, when I saw a few months later, on November 28, 2016, that Ms. Sgro tabled Motion No.98, which reads as follows:
That the House underscore its desire and commitment to establish a national organ donor registry, and call upon the government to engage with provinces, territories, and other relevant stakeholders in an effort to devise and enact the legislative and regulatory framework necessary to establish the same.
I'm just asking, Minister, if you can explain this. How can the Liberals vote against a national organ and tissue donor registry in June and then propose one in November? Is the government admitting that it made a mistake and is now willing to support such a great initiative, or is this a case of the government being determined not to vote in favour of a Conservative bill just to be able to say that it passed a Liberal motion instead?
I sure hope this is not the case, because people are dying, Minister. Can you explain this to me?
