I gave the example of Bill C-55 that was rammed through, too quickly and with good intentions. A year later, it is still not being enforced because there is no way of enforcing it. Therefore, we must discuss this bill because the same thing could happen again. It would be most unfortunate, and we would not be serving our population.
Imagine if we adopted this bill and then realized that it could not be enforced because we were too hasty. In three months, this could raise a paralyzing constitutional debate. Imagine what would happen if the Quebec government asked the Supreme Court whether this is constitutional. I do not think that that would help one bit. We have the responsibility, as legislators, to ensure that our legislation respects the Constitution.
That is what I wanted to say regarding the point of order raised by my friend Mr. Colin Carrie.
