Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Justice. On November 30, 1993, exactly a year ago today, the Royal Commission on New Reproductive Technologies published its final report after studying the issue for four years and spending over $28 million. We are still waiting patiently for the federal government to respond to the commission's recommendations.
How can the Minister of Justice explain that, one year after the Baird report was tabled, he still has not introduced a bill to regulate reproductive technologies, research on human embryos as well as the sale of ova and human foetal tissue in Canada?
