Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the member's comments when he talked about the issue of partisanship when it comes to something as important as this.
I would have been very supportive of him if I had not been in the House last week and heard some other comments that were extremely partisan. However I hope we can come together on bills as important as this and work through them together.
When the member talked about the issue of retroactivity, I think we all agree that it would be wonderful to bring that in but how do we do that? The member knows as well as I do how the law works. We cannot bring in a law that is retroactive. Therefore if you want to bring in something that will stay and will be supported--
