Mr. Speaker, the previous speaker seems to be a very avid supporter of this legislation. I congratulate him in that respect. His comments were eloquent to the point of the importance of this legislation.
Being an ardent supporter of this legislation, I would like to ask the hon. member a question in relation to the issues raised by the member for Elk Island concerning sections 23 and 24 of the bill which deal with the enforcement powers, investigation and the designation document. Section 24 says that when exercising their enforcement powers investigators may enter on and pass through or over private property, et cetera.
Would he attempt to communicate to the hon. member for Elk Island that these provisions are consistent with the provisions that are in the Criminal Code and that this legislation derives its authority from the Criminal Code? Therefore everything that is in this legislation is entirely consistent with what appears in the Criminal Code.
