Madam Speaker, I want to congratulate my colleague for the work he did on the committee. He brought forward a number of amendments. Many of them were very similar to amendments that I had brought forward. I want to thank him for the excellent work that he did.
The reason the Conservatives did not want to stand up for the little guy is because they do not care about the little guy. They never have. This has never been their priority. Their priority is to fundraise off this legislation. It was never to get good legislation that would ensure that diverse voices were heard and that diverse Canadian stories from areas outside of Toronto were heard. I want to hear stories from local media and from rural communities in Alberta. They do not care about that. That was never anything they were worried about. That was never anything they were fighting for.
I honour my colleague for the work that he did to raise that awareness, but I can tell members that was not what we saw in the committee from others.
