Mr. Speaker, maybe my colleague could provide some additional thoughts on the importance of this legislation.
We went through the committee process. The government, always looking for ways in which it can improve upon legislation, brought forward a number of amendments. Many of those amendments came from the Conservative Party and were successful. Today we have good legislation. Many of the residents who I represent were anxious to see action taken on an air passenger bill of rights. Finally, after years of hearing virtually nothing, we have something tangible and we are moving forward. This is good news for those who travel through our airlines.
Could my colleague provide his thoughts on how important it is that we move forward with the legislation?
