Mr. Chair, my colleague Ms. Michaud is right to say that there's a history and a context behind the introduction of this bill.
As minister, I am very interested in working with you and all members of Parliament to get this bill passed for the same reasons you have outlined. We have to accept the findings of the former commissions, such as Justice O'Connor's, and those of the commission that just took place in Nova Scotia, which said that we need to make the complaints process more independent in order to reinforce the confidence of all Canadians.
If you have any suggestions or amendments, I'm always open to them, but I feel it's a good bill. This is a historic bill. It will do a much better job of protecting public safety institutions and Canadians.
