Don Boudria Liberal Glengarry—Prescott—Russell, ON

I think it is just fine, Mr. Speaker, to be the member of Parliament duly elected for Glengarry—Prescott—Russell. I do not apologize for that, and I am running again.

Now, dealing with the bill, the initial measures were announced in May 2002. In June 2002 the Prime Minister followed up with details. I held consultations last summer. In the fall of 2002, I held consultations with parliamentarians. The bill was introduced on January 29. The bill was debated 14 hours and 40 minutes at second reading.
