I simply wanted to point out to Ms. Marcoux that based on the order in which government bills were tabled, Bill C-3 should be debated in the House before next Thursday. That information was passed along to me by my leader.
As you can appreciate, that could potentially influence my party's position on this bill or our discussions. I'd like us to have this time, but in my opinion, the process of adopting the bill will already be under way. I realize that we can always amend the bill before its adoption, but it will already have come up for debate next week in the House, before we've heard from everyone.
