We're therefore debating it as long as it's in order. It is quite similar to the one the committee just put to a vote, after all.
I'd like to say a few words about what the member just said. I have enormous respect for her, and I think she is one of the voices of reason in the House and certainly at this committee.
She said it was vindictive and small-minded, but I'd like to remind her of something. Even though she and I were not on the committee, in the case of Mr. Drouin—about whom Mr. Godin spoke to us at length—after he apologized repeatedly, the Conservatives practically wanted him tarred and feathered. That's barely an exaggeration.
