Madam Speaker, I thank the member for his support.
Speaking French is always a challenge for those of us who are learning it later in life. I thank the member for his support.
In terms of the concept of where we are going to be able to go with this, I think each and every one of us is concerned that there are areas where this law is going to have to be examined with great care, and this has already been raised in debate in the House today. That would have to go into the drafting of the bill and would also have to go into the process as we go forward in terms of bringing the bill before the House and then ultimately dealing with it and hopefully turning it into law.
The precision that we would have to deal with certainly would take time. In fairness, as we look at the legislative calendar and see the items that we must deal with in that period of time, I hope that we would set aside enough time to do this in a proper and effective way.
Although we would like to cooperate fully and move legislation forward with speed, part of our duty is to make sure that we have examined it fully and looked at all of the implications, in particular the law of unforeseen consequences, to see if we can deal with those issues. That would take time. From the perspective of the Minister of Justice, he wants to make certain that we bring forth a law that would be effective and yet not overstep its reach.
Let me say to the hon. member that we will do everything within our power to speedily bring the bill through the parliamentary process, but we will do so only when all of us are sure we have done it in an appropriate and effective manner so that we will not have too many unforeseen consequences to affect us later.
