Mr. Speaker, I wish to congratulate the member for Hochelaga on his speech. I know that he was present when the evidence was presented to the committee. He knows that there are no other studies or statistics.
On the other side, we have the Conservative members of the committee. There is the member for Wild Rose who was very honest and clearly stated—he is probably the most honest member in this House—that he does not need any studies or statistics to support this bill.
Then we have once again the parliamentary secretary who said in this House that there are studies and statistics in support of Bill C-10.
Do studies or statistics exist, were they submitted at our hearings and do they basically support the bill?
