Mr. Speaker, in the period during which I will consider the question I want to examine first of all whether there have been investigations and prosecutions under the present section for the kind of misconduct referred to.
I want to consider whether it is worth the expense and time of the House to pass yet another section of the code when we already have sections in the code that prohibit the misconduct.
I want to consider whether we have laws on the books already which, if properly enforced, will achieve the objective the hon. member refers to without adding laws to the code that may not be necessary.
