Mr. Speaker, I would like to hear what my colleague has to say about private members' business.
For me personally, being a new MP, I think it is a shame that in a four-year term, I may never have a private member's bill come up for debate.
I think what happens is that members bring forward many private members' bills for their constituents, to have at least spoken about them in the House. With regard to all the resources that go into all those private members' bills that will never see the light of day, including all the research and reaching out to stakeholders and so on, I am wondering what he thinks about my idea that everyone, during one Parliament, should be able to have at least one private member's bill.
