First of all, with regard to the previous point that Mr. Brock made, I want to thank the justice committee for the work on Bill C-14 and for concluding that. Let me also say that there is a need in Canada right now for greater collaboration and greater ability for people to work together. Former prime minister Stephen Harper—be surprised, because I don't quote him often—underscored that point this week.
What I would say is that there's no party that has exclusivity on the safety and security of Canadians and on public safety overall. My responsibility, my task as Minister of Public Safety, is to ensure that law enforcement has the right tools to be able to do its job. Bill C-2 is still in the House. I would implore all parties to come together on the passage of Bill C-2 because that lawful access is, in my opinion—and every law enforcement agency I've spoken to has said this—the single most important tool that law enforcement needs to be able to do its job.
Again, I will end by saying that we have opportunities to work in greater collaboration, and I look forward to that bearing fruit in the coming weeks and months.
