Madam Speaker, I understand and appreciate that over the years, the Bloc has consistently been pushing the issue in an attempt to move it forward. However, I do believe that the Prime Minister and the government have done a very respectful job at advancing the issue. Part of that advancement is in the consultation we have committed to, which will start in the month of November. Because is a joint responsibility, with both the provinces and the federal government having a role to play, would the member not agree we should in fact be working with the other jurisdictions and with stakeholders before we make a decision?
We know that the subject matter is very complex, and it has been difficult at times for it to even get any attention in the House in order to advance it. There is finally a government that has taken tangible action by working with other jurisdictions and listening to what Canadians want.
