I can appreciate that this was something that was considered and discussed in the 40th Parliament, and I really would be mistaken if I wanted to speak against the merits of the work that was done there. By the same token, it's very hard to speak to the report, not having read it, not having seen it. As a new member here, it is very difficult for me to support something that I have not seen, that I have not heard, and that I haven't considered. That's the difficulty I have with this motion.
