Mr. Speaker, first, I would like to tell my Conservative colleague that the NDP and I want to have this bill passed, even though it is not perfect.
I consider it a privilege to have spoken today, because it is not often possible to speak, when we are gagged with time allocation motions.
I am grateful that my colleagues and I have been able to speak. It is very important to hear what people have to say. In Ottawa, I like to talk about my riding and about agriculture and forestry and mining companies.
I would therefore like the others to be allowed to speak.
