Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the member for Western Arctic for his intervention. He is very passionate about justice in the House of Commons.
I wanted to specifically ask him about the lack of process around this bill. One of the things that the member for Burnaby—New Westminster had been calling for, for a number of weeks now, was a process around hearings in this country.
The idea was to take the committee out to key communities in Quebec, northern Ontario and British Columbia to actually meet with people to talk about what the impact this would have on their communities, their industries, their municipalities, their workers and first nations.
I wonder if the member could comment about the fact that this has not been done. What will the impacts be in terms of the validity of this bill?
