Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the hon. member for all his help and good work on the health committee.
I believe, as I think he does, that the committee gets to choose which witnesses it would like to bring forward. With any type of legislation it is very important to this government and all members of the House to entertain the opinions of all stakeholders who have an interest in the legislation.
The idea here, on which I think everyone in the House would agree, is that the health and safety of Canadians is very important. Canadians have to have confidence in their government and confidence in consumer products. The legislation on the books now is from the 1960s. It is time we modernized it. We live in a new global framework.
I look forward to the bill going to committee. I know we will be working diligently to bring forward good legislation for the Canadian people.
