Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I support Mr. Lake's motion. I think it is appropriate. We're hearing from Mr. Nadeau on the importance of this legislation, and it's appropriate timing to have the committee express in front of Mr. Nadeau our support for looking at this legislation in as much detail as possible. I don't think we're giving the mover of this legislation appropriate courtesy if we try to ramrod it and not actually research it, or if we ignore the obligations that we have for broader consultation.
I would hope the committee would show this sign of good faith to Mr. Nadeau and show good faith to all those who have an interest in this potential legislation. I think everyone has recognized and is cognizant of the fact that there is a lot of interest in this potential legislation, and it would behoove us to be cognizant of this democratic responsibility that we have to allow those viewpoints to be heard. I'll certainly support Mr. Lake's motion, and I hope everyone on the committee would.
