Françoise Boivin NDP Gatineau, QC

Thank you.

You will not be surprised by what I am about to say, but I do not intend to make a long speech. It is just to show you that there was no filibustering here; people were simply exercising their right to express their views on this bill. Every single amendment was proposed in a spirit of both pragmatism and respect for Canadian law. Those are the same arguments, word for word, that were made. I will say nothing more on this.
