Mr. Speaker, the member, who serves on the health committee of the House, is fully aware that six months ago I put in front of that committee comprehensive legislation dealing with all those matters and asked him and his colleagues to study it, to look at practices in other countries, to listen to witnesses and to give us their best advice on whether it was the way we should proceed. It included a ban on cloning, plain and simple. That was to show respect for the parliamentary process, for the committee and for the member. Is he not up to the task?
