Mr. Speaker, I am astonished. It must have appeared that I was speaking for a long time. I thought it was such a relevant topic that it was just a minute or two. I am hearing from colleagues that we were just getting to the good part. There were some delays in that.
It is incredibly important. I certainly took a few minutes to explain the reasons why we were doing this. I do not think that has to be repeated too many times in the House.
What we do not want to see is an intended delay in getting this done. The provinces of British Columbia and Ontario came to the federal government and asked us if we would facilitate the required legislation to help them with their tax changes. That is simply what we are doing. I would encourage all hon. members who stand and speak to do so proactively.
