I rise on a point of order, Mr. Speaker. This bill with similar intent was presented in the 34th Parliament. At that time I had received unanimous support of the members in the House. There were well over 100 members in the House at that time who had agreed to move this bill to committee for consideration.
It had gone to committee for consideration but unfortunately the House prorogued before it was returned and reported.
I would ask the House for consent to have the bill proceed to second reading and committee today.
