Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the member for Wascana for his remarks, although I am curious why he feels the challenge between railways and suppliers started in 2006.
I believe it started around 1783 when Liberal Alexander Mackenzie was elected. Things got better with John A. Macdonald. Then they got worse when Sir Wilfrid Laurier was elected. It got better under Diefenbaker. It got worse with Pearson and Trudeau. It got a little better with Mulroney. It got bad again with Prime Minister Chrétien. If the member wants to talk about the speed of the process, why did his government not do anything in their 13 years, or basically anything in the 20th century, to fix this problem?
Having said that, I am pleased that the member is positive about the bill. I can assure him that all the stakeholders were consulted. I wonder if the member would say, if he is satisfied, that his party will not put up any unnecessary filibustering at committee. This is the best possible bill. I would hate for the opposition parties to try to change it just for the sake of change.
