Madam Speaker, I totally agree with the hon. member that now is the time to make sure that safeguards are put in place. With a matter as serious as this and when decisions of such finality are at stake, why would we not, as parliamentarians, pause and reflect? Based on the testimonies we heard and the potential ramifications of this legislation being passed, this bill can have huge, perhaps even unintended consequences, that could dramatically affect the lives of our most vulnerable.
I will reiterate that the character of a nation is revealed in how it treats its most vulnerable. This bill inadequately addresses the needs of our most vulnerable.
