The short answer is, yes, I agree to the provisions of Bill S-7, and I'm optimistic that the committee will find it's the right thing to do.
I want to be proud of my country. It seems when we talk about the economy, it's certainly the topic of concern. Canada prides itself on the fact that it took steps beforehand to lessen the impact of the economic situation, and we're very proud of ourselves, and we continue to sing our praises.
In the area of terrorism, which is also a global concern, I want the same sense of pride, so that I can say, “You know what? We took preventative steps to lessen the impact.” I hope it will be an exercise in futility. We all do. Nevertheless, we have to have an exercise in reality here, and the reality is that there could be an attack, and I think this is a giant step in the right direction.
