Mr. Speaker, I hope it is evident not only to the hon. member but to everyone in this House and in the country that notwithstanding changes as reflected in the bill introduced today, the one thing that remains is our commitment to the principles of this policy.
Speaking of commitment to principles, the hon. member is a member of a party which prides itself as the law and order party in the House of Commons. I would like that party to explain why it opposes legislation which has the support of the police and the victims groups of this country.
