Mr. Speaker, thank you for recognizing me. I can assure you that my comments will be brief. Brevity is the key here.

We have a responsibility to protect those Canadians. We have a responsibility to protect the Canadian economy. We cannot afford any more undue delays.
Therefore, in order to expedite this legislation, I move:
That this question be now put.
