Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his heartfelt and impassioned speech. The points he raised are quite valid.
We debated the bill and it was passed by the House of Commons in the previous Parliament. It even made it to the Senate. At this point, the five parties in the House unanimously agree that it should pass. Everyone agrees that it is very important and is a step in the right direction.
This week, one of our colleagues proposed that we fast-track the bill, which was introduced by the Conservative Party. However, the Conservatives refused to expedite the process.
Why do the Conservatives not want to expedite the process to pass a Conservative bill?
