Thank you for your tireless work on this, for bringing this forward initially, for making sure the committee studied it in advance years ago and for allowing me to work with you on it. It's been an absolute honour.
I am very worried that we will go to an election before this passes, and I am going to well up with tears because I know the impact. I spoke to someone last month whose daughter was killed, and he said that if this bill had been in place when his daughter was alive, she would still be alive.
It is so vital that we pass this piece of legislation. I urge committee members to be aware of the uncertainty in minority parliaments. Please do everything you can to get this through committee and back to the House so we can send it to the Senate and it has the best chance of passing.
