Mr. Speaker, I thank the member opposite for his eloquent speech in the debate we are having today.
I know first hand that working through private members' business can be a very positive thing. With these kinds of initiatives we draw influence and inspiration from many Canadians right across this country. The question, therefore, that I have for the member tonight is whether there is some group that particularly helped craft the bill or inspired the member bring this topic to debate. Is there a particular person that he would like to mention, because I do know these things do not happen by our own efforts, nor probably even by the efforts of our staff alone? So I would like the member to answer in that capacity.
