Madam Speaker, the past speaker referred to the fact that the Reform Party cannot support this piece of legislation. That makes me very sad. This group of people claim to be law conscious and believe that we must move forward to try to do what we can to protect society. I understand this has been a very big plank in the Reform Party's platform. Again we see it breaking promises and moving away from the good of Canadians. That is a very sad thing.
As a government we know we have to enact laws that will withstand constitutional challenges. We are told that at this time this bill will do that. It is important to do that. The Reform Party says to go ahead. It will do anything. It does not matter. It does not matter if it is legal. As a government we cannot behave like that. We must work within a legal framework. We must be respectful of the law. We must be respectful of Canadian citizens whom we represent.
It is strange that the hon. member talked about the best place in the world to live. However he said it with such disdain and negativity. The Reform Party has made it also a plank in its platform to deal with the dark side, to fearmonger, to not move ahead. That is unfortunate because we cannot continue to do that. We have to move ahead. We have to do things that are right for Canadians and that will help them.
Reform says that this is a false sense of security. My question for the hon. member is, how could Reform possibly not support DNA identification for criminals?
