Mr. Speaker, the sudden rush is interesting, and this is what I want to speak about. Why the sudden rush, and why is the Minister of Health here when this was actually under a different committee, not health, where it should have been?
The Supreme Court ruled on this in 2011. We need to discuss the bill in the House and re-debate it, because when the bill went to committee, despite recommendations from many people, as well as provinces, municipalities, and the Vancouver Police Department, not a comma in the bill was changed.
This is part of the issue. The government listens to no one. Everyone is in agreement with the idea of public consultations. There were huge public consultations when InSite was brought in. No one is disagreeing with that. What we want to know is why the government has waited. The ruling was in 2011, and now, all of a sudden, it wants to ram everything through and not allow for debate on why the process at committee, which is important, was actually not listened to. Not a comma in the bill was changed. We need to discuss that in the House.
