Madam Speaker, I would like to pick up on what the member for Charlevoix has said.
From the beginning of his speech, the parliamentary secretary has been saying that this must be broadened to include other cases in the community. Will it be possible, during clause by clause study in committee, to introduce amendments to that effect?
Will it be possible to introduce amendments to this bill so that a father caring for his son, or a son caring for his father, will have the same benefits the bill now provides for persons in a sexual relationship? We know that it is a very long while before a bill is actually passed.
Would it be possible to add new provisions to the bill at committee stage, and would the government agree to such provisions?
