Sure. I'd like to add a comment.
I would suggest, as indicated by that pile of papers, that the debate over the last eight years has been substantial. In House committees and Senate committees, there has been extensive debate on this issue. I can't see how we can say that no progress was made. Substantial progress was made in 2003, when amendments were accepted that brought pretty much everybody onside. That's why I think it's crazy to throw the baby out with the bathwater. When we came to the 11th hour, we were 99% there. It's not true that this bill has gone further than the bill in 2003. That bill in 2003 was one step away from receiving royal assent, and now we're looking at passing it. It's huge that we were so close, and the Senate, an unelected body, wouldn't allow it to pass.
It also seems to me that Mark Holland's private member's bill is not the only way to get this job done. If the governing party were to take on that bill and listen to the will of Canadians, we could get this done very quickly.
