Madam Speaker, I note that some of my colleagues opposite regard sitting in the House of Commons to debate as a waste of time. I hope the record reflects that. It is an interesting remark on how they regard democracy and its functioning, a fine example of which we saw the other night during the vote on hepatitis C.
I am rising today to speak to Bill C-3, an act respecting DNA identification. We are dealing with the Group No. 1 amendments to this bill.
