Mr. Speaker, I want to answer the allegations made by the hon. member for York South-Weston. Not that I am seeking to defend the other place in my comments, but it is very important that he recognize this is a government bill.
The bill was introduced by the government in the other place. It is sponsored in the House by the Minister of Finance. It was debated at second reading in the House, referred to committee and will be debated at third reading in the House. It is a government bill. It is going through the same process that every other government bill goes through in the House.
