Mr. Speaker, there is no doubt that the member is raising a very important social issue for all Canadians.
We said last summer that we wanted to have parliamentarians involved in the debate. We have asked the justice committee to proceed with the consultation process. I have been told that the consultation is finished now. We expect to have the report soon.
There is no doubt in my mind that we are facing three decisions, one in Quebec, one in Ontario and the decision yesterday by the B.C. Court of Appeal, which was a very interesting and important decision.
We will wait for the recommendations from the committee and then the government will come forward with a position.
