Mr. Speaker, I did hear those arguments coming from our witnesses, but we had many witnesses there.
I take into consideration the statements made by people such as Aruna Papp who said it is about time. She said:
I commend the government for its leadership in taking a stand on a very difficult issue and for defending the human rights of vulnerable women who are unable to speak for themselves.
She is a victim. I listened to her. I listened to many victims. I listened to many lawyers. I listened to many other people. People will always argue on the rights and wrongs, but I believe this bill is the right bill for Canada and for the women and children of this country.
