Mr. Speaker, I did support Bill C-14 and voted for it in the last Parliament. I thought that it did strike the right balance and that it had a very limited application. However, I was troubled at the time about the reasonable foreseeability words, which I thought would likely be litigated, and indeed they were.
I would ask the member this: Why not now simply deal with the narrow issue of the court only? There was a reason, at the time, to have a full five-year period before revisiting a significant expansion. The reason was to collect a broad volume of data to examine how Bill C-14 would be implemented. Why the expansion beyond the narrow issue of the court decision?
