Mr. Speaker, my colleague is also a former police officer with the Ontario Provincial Police.
The bill is about providing equalization to the RCMP and to those members who are currently serving and those who wish to join. I do know what my colleague is speaking about. We all suffered during a period of time when we were all forced to take time off even if we did not want to. I am not sure this is the proper place to debate those things today.
This is a good bill. We need to take the high road on it and get it through the House in a hurry.
