Madam Speaker, I listened closely to the speech of my colleague across the way.
At first he seemed to want to make a distinction between the bill the Conservatives introduced in the previous Parliament and the one before us today.
One thing that is clear is that the bill is being met with broad consensus, give or take a few amendments that some wanted to see included, such as the one we just discussed.
My question is as follows. Since the bill has the consensus of the House and almost had consensus in the previous Parliament, then why did we have to wait for the last year of the Liberal term to move forward with these long-awaited measures?
