Mr. Speaker, I have a brief comment. Forgive me if I again try to shed a little elucidation on the issue at hand today. I am sure members of the general public watching this debate are not finding the focus on the internecine party and partisan issues very helpful or productive to the discussion at hand. One could wonder whether parties that vote en bloc are being disciplined to a vote but others are being coerced into a vote. I do not think that is very helpful to the debate.
What might be worthy of understanding is that all victims are still capable of accessing the social safety net that is there and is enhanced for everyone. I refer specifically to additional health care services that will be provided for all those who are victims. Second, there is the Canada pension plan disability component that addresses urgent and immediate needs. Third, there is always the procedure which I mentioned earlier on that have not been abrogated, that have not been limited, that have not been dismissed which is the opportunity of every victim and his or her family to proceed either individually or in class before the courts for compensation.
None of those avenues have been restricted or diminished. It is important to keep those things in mind to frame the debate.
