Mr. Speaker, thank you. I do want to allow my colleague that opportunity.
I thank the hon. member for his intervention and for reminding the House that the official opposition does support the bill. We appreciate that support. Obviously they recognize, as we do, that there are improvements that can be made in the way in which we do business in this country.
He raises some good points to the effect that the public service should be mindful of the laudable merits of this statute as it begins to apply to them.
