Madam Speaker, I want to thank my colleague fromSherwood ParkāFort Saskatchewan for his third intervention today on this issue. I appreciate his passion and commitment to the cause he is trying to defend.
The member brought a number of amendments to committee, I think probably in the dozens. Many of them were not even supported by members of his own party at committee, but they were all fairly debated and fairly defeated.
I want to get back to the premise at this point of needing a law in place. I disagree with the hon. member that the provincial regulatory bodies are sufficient. I think we need national standards in place.
Does the hon. member not agree that, if it is the will of the vast majority of this House to get a law in place, we should do our best and utmost to get a law in place today?
