Thank you, Chair.
I don't really have any skin in the game for this one. I'm speaking as someone who did vote against Bill C-75. I was present in the 42nd Parliament during the Liberal majority government.
I just find it curious that this motion is being brought forward when we're actually in the middle of a study on car theft. Questions come to mind.
Why is this motion so necessary when we have plenty of opportunity during the middle of this particular study to ask questions?
Has anyone thought of bringing in the Victoria Police Department or inviting them as a witness so we could ask questions? There's a lot of language in this motion that is asking us to go on the good faith of the Conservatives, which in some cases is in short supply.
I just wanted to make those observations that there were probably other opportunities and more conciliatory ways of bringing this forward during the middle of a study on car thefts.
