Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate my colleague on the tireless work he does on behalf of transgendered people.
I feel it is important to mention during this debate that the NDP has tabled bullying prevention measures. I would like to mention the initiative of my colleague from Dartmouth—Cole Harbour, who introduced Bill C-540, as well as the work done by my colleague from Chicoutimi—Le Fjord, who moved Motion No. 385 to create a national bullying prevention strategy.
We asked the Conservatives to work with us but, unfortunately, they played petty politics with this very important issue.
As my colleague mentioned, the government often uses its bills to impose measures that have nothing to do with the bill's objective. We have seen the same thing with omnibus bills.
Could my colleague explain the link between cyberbullying and the fact that this bill includes a two-year sentence for stealing cable signals?
