Mr. Speaker, listening to the member for Edmonton Strathcona this evening was like taking a deep breath of fresh air. Certainly, she hit all of the points with respect to this legislation, and I would agree that perhaps the manner in which the bill was rolled out could have been done differently. I am sure hindsight is 20/20 for everybody, and people look back and say maybe we should have done this instead of that, but really, at the end of the day I look across the aisle at the Conservatives, and I ask myself if that is what their job is. Is their job to, as she put it, smell the blood and attack for political gain?
Can she comment on whether that is what the official opposition is here to do? Are they here to look for weaknesses to exploit for political gain, or are they here to actually help craft and make the legislation better, as she was clearly trying to do in her role on the committee?
