Mr. Speaker, I applaud the hon. member for Calgary Centre and congratulate him on his excellent speech. It was certainly very intelligent and totally comprehensive of the entire package that has been brought forward in this bill.
I would like to indicate to the member that he has convinced me as to how I should vote on this bill. In terms of his colleagues, I appreciate the point that he has brought out, that we cannot legislate social attitudes and social behaviour. We can do everything in our power in this House to look at each issue comprehensively and try to find the best solution that serves the majority of people who are law-abiding citizens.
I congratulate the member on the broadness and intelligence of his approach. I hope that he can take this to his colleagues and convince them of the merits of the bill.
