Mr. Speaker, I wish it were the parliamentary secretary on the spot instead of me. Again the hon. member takes me out of my area of expertise. I would prefer to give him a simple answer but he is now looking at the issue of the legal impact of the legislation as it sits before us.
I am saying in a longwinded fashion that I cannot reply to the hon. member's question. What really is key here is that when we debate legislation, we can only debate it in principle. It is for the lawyers afterwards and before committee to look at the legal nuances.
