Mr. Speaker, I did indeed get a copy of the bill, but you will understand that when a bill is a complicated at this there is more than one person in each MP's office working on it. There being more than 3,000 amendments, you will understand that more than one person in each office is working on such an important bill.
Today the members in this House are going to vote on the amendments without even having the original tool in hand, Bill C-3. For there to be democracy there must be information.
I myself asked a page for a copy of the bill and I do not know whether he found one or not. Some other members of my party did the same and were told there were no more available.
Before resuming work on this bill, I would point out that there is such a thing as a photocopier and if necessary photocopies can be made. We must have Bill C-3 in our hands so that we can seriously pursue our work on it.
I know that you are in agreement with us on this, Mr. Speaker.
