Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the responses that were made, and obviously, with passion and determination and with the request that Bill C-50 move quickly. I know Mr. Georgetti has indicated that you take what's on the table and keep working. It's not perfect, but it certainly addresses the needs of a good number of people. I read from your press release of September 14 that you were essentially pleased with the government's proposed changes, but as you say, there is more work to do.
What message do you have for the leader of the Liberal Party, the opposition, who opposed this particular legislature before it came to committee, and voted against it, presumably to try to force an election during this difficult economic time, when these benefits are what they are? What message would you have for him, and to the committee members here who oppose the legislation, notwithstanding that it's helping some of the people that are affected in this particular time?
