Thank you.

I'd also like to make a comment. We talked about whether this a partisan issue. It shouldn't be, and I think the people on the government side have to recognize that it really doesn't matter whether it's a private member, who the private member is, or what party the private member belongs to. The government that actually gets this through gets the credit.

So if it were purely a political issue, I'd be waiting until we formed the government instead of giving you the opportunity to do it, because the political “coups” go to the party in power.
